Topic: Do you feel that Moore's Law will reach it's limit within this decade?

Michio Kaku does, and it would really be interesting to see because most people here have grown up in a world where technology is constantly improving. It would, in a way, be like a return to the pre-computer days where technology advances slowly, if at all.
What do you think?

Of course it will. There's a physical limit on how many transistors you can put on a certain area. It's interesting to see that the demand for high performance (high MIPS) computers is going down somewhat with the advent of smartphones and netbooks. All people want to do is watch cat videos and spend time on a certain blue and white social networking site. (Well not really, but you get my point.)

I've noticed this too. It seemed in the late 90s you had to upgrade every year because the internet and software were advancing so fast, but now social networking dominates the computing experience, and you can easily do that on a 10 year old computer.

Experts have been predicting this for decades now. CMOS density still increases at or above Moore's Law. Individual devices are not shrinking as fast, but changes in geometry are making up for that.
Power consumption drives it as much as usage.
CMOS based microprocessor technology is being jammed into everything now.

I think we'll start rethinking computers from the ground up.
The development of magnetic transistors is going to lead to some neat stuff. Who knows what'll come next.

It all relates back to the nigger cock in my cumfilled throat and boners

I don't see this leading to many scientific advances. Unless you're relieving stress from overworked African American scientists.
