NOTE

The End of Moore's Law and the Limits of Technological Progress

A significant portion of technological progress has been concentrated on solving specific problems./nThis concentrated progress has been one of the greatest success stories in the history of technology./nThere are fundamental limits to how small a processor can be made, which will eventually end Moore's Law./nQuantum gravity imposes limits on computer processing power, hindering further technological progress./nBuilding a computer that operates at extreme speeds would require an unsustainable amount of energy, causing it to collapse into a black hole./nThe limitations imposed by quantum gravity will be reached before the theoretical limit of 10 to the 43 operations per second.
