It took humans millions of years to evolve. Our closest evolutionary relative, the chimpanzee, may have issues understanding how to fold laundry. In contrast, computers as we know them appeared no more than 80 years ago. Look at how fast things have moved in such short period of time, especially the last 20 years. > Moore's Law has already buckled Moore's Law applies to how many transistors you can pack into an integrated circuit. Prior to the invention of the transistor, the best we had was the vacuum tube. That limited what we could do. Memristors could potentially cause a leap like what we experienced when we moved from the vacuum tube to transistors. If that doesn't happen then something else may, e.g: more efficient algorithms / architectures. ... Finally... when the Wright brothers invented their clunky first airplane that could only fly for lest around a minute at low altitude in 1903, nobody thought that few years later, in 1945, you would have a plane flying faster than the speed of sound. Right now you are like the people in 1903 saying "haha! Look at those dumb guys with this ridiculous machine!". |
