Absolute nonsense.
I know an ex-Intel exec, Koogie - was a VICE PRESIDENT of Intel, California - and I know from my wife and kids and I having had lunch with him and his wife and kids here at our place this summer that photonics is going to be big everywhere. He's a consultant in that field, now, and he's been consulting with Ayar Labs and Global Foundries, lately, and if you haven't seen photonics on their roadmaps (and others'), well... just maybe they're not sharing them with you these days, for some strange reason.
You WILL see.
