Not that i am worried now ;D

Well I'm sure 'the every 18 months' quantum jump (Moore's Law) thing, would run out of highway at some point! - B .
And they said the sound barrier would never be broken. I would imagine in 57 years there will be technology that we would have never imagined. That is if some of us are still alive then. I remember drawing on construction paper with colored pencils and little did i know in less then ten years i would have a Wacom and Art Rage to closely replicate that.
That is very true. If we move from silicon to organic, we may be looking at a very different speedometer.
The scale being used won't matter. For instance, take music. It went from records, to DVDs, to memory on ipods, to small downloads, later to larger downloads. Today, it is much easier to listen to a given song. For computers storage is a factor, memory is a factor. I was amazed at the progress in screen sizes - video cards keeping up with the amount of pixels that need to be pushed. So, they will hit size limits, but then you will see themes like the already unfolding transputer concept. I think we will carry our profiles around and just plug them into computer stations, or plug into a computing network (like the internet, but where we share cpu cycles). The progress needed is in software integration. And in concepts, and in privacy controls (and the flip side - access controls). -- sorry for the rambling.
I haven't read much about "Moore's Law" but i always thought about it as a kind of capitalistic law. Wy not faster changing? Not too fast and not too slow...hmmm
İf there is a chance and capitalism 75 years latter , they will find a way. :)

Yes, we'll hit a limit...
then they will quad core it... ;)
LOL ! and true again. :D
Popular Science had an good length article about Quantum Computers and Neural DNA Computers. Very insane stuff that IBM was working on at the time. This was almost fiveteen years ago so who knows what happened but in all honesty i tend to think that Computer Technology was growing a bit faster back then during the 90s then current. There seems to be some slowdown and less innovation, at least nothing huge in leaps. The 90s were nifty for those things and it was neat to have a family PC, a 486 at the time, LOL.
