Moore's Law Might Actually Last Another 75 Years
Moore's Law is mention anytime there's an advancement in processing speeds, and that may keep happening for another 75 years. Physicists are speculating that, assuming Moore was right, we'll max out on processing speed at that point. More » -

Gadgets of Our Future Will Continue To Get Smaller and Faster Thanks To Nanowires
Computers have been getting smaller for years, yet they cram the same amount of power if not more. Essentially that is Moore's Law, or the theory that every year the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits doubles. More » -
