So I know Moore's law is "dead" (dead as in Cobol or dead as in Elvis?) and progress is definitely slower than it has been historically however we have only began to really start leveraging parallelization at scale from a software perspective, so I think we have some runway in that direction, and of course the looming elephant on the horizon, Quantum computing.

Sure it is in it's infancy but assuming that the research continues to prove that quantum computing is viable I expect it to be an even bigger deal than the move from vacuum tubes to transistors. At that point we'll be dealing with an entirely different world in computing.
