When the computer chip reaches the size of an Atom we have completed our mission, Agree?
To talk of a computer chip infers similar technology to that currently in use and that cannot get down to the size of an atom. The key to computer chips is that they can exist for a sustained time in a number (most cases just 2) different states and there are millions of these switches on a chip. Although an atom can exist in different energy states they always revert to their lowest states without external intervention and their alternative states are not stable enough. And when you have cracked that one you still only have one switch. It is far more likely that computers will evolve in a different direction (quantum computing perhaps) that will make today’s computer look like an abacus. When all is said and done computers are a means to an end, they do not solve humanities challenges. Unless something else changes fast computers will just make for bigger wars and make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
