D-Wave has opened a very wonderful and very motivating free source
to Quantum computing. Learn more about now.
I just learned an hour or so ago that D-Wave is offering "FREE access"
to their Quantum computer processors. DWave does require your e-mail
address, which may serve as identification. We are talkin about a cloud
you can experiment with for free, but you can practice quantum computer
programming with Python and use D-Wave learning tools and examples,
some of those are free and open-source!
Want to learn Python and Quantum-Computer programming? Well, if you don't,
you should. If you have a newly-born child or are planning on haveing
children (or not planning on having children but will,) those children
might "need" to learn Python and Quantum computer programming.

LEAP is what it is called, you can join it now, apparently:
https://cloud.dwavesys.com/leap/
According to Alan Baratz, EVP of R&D and Chief Product Officer at D-Wave,
Leap is "an environment that will provide any and all developers immediate,
free, real time access to a live quantum computer."
If you don't now, your children might need to put their QC programming
hats on soon! Why? For a good-paying job. At the rate that autonomous
vehicles are being perfected, your child (or you) cannot plan jobs
that require driving. Jobs that require less thinking may become even
easier for artificial intelligence (A.I.) to take over. Have you planned
on your child to become an accountant? Put that out of your mind right
now! Accounting math and accounting procedures are now being perfected by
AI. You can now have anline service help you. The list goes on... Want
your child to become a lawyer? Certain legal tasks are already being
implemented where the forms are already printable online, just fill in
the "blanks" and print it out.
Before you know it, two human-looking arms will be programmed and ready
to feed people after using those arms to use a can-opener and cook some
food, feed the dog or cat. It may sound difficult, and it is today but
in 20 years, many things humans have trained to do will be preprogrammed.
No fear! Design, art and programming should still be useful jobs for some
time to come. People with those hobs will still be needed to design, and
program autonomous devices and robots.
Edit:
I know some people think this information is boring. But HEY! We need to
stop thinking we get BORED by this. We need to feel excited! :D
