A (the?) key point of Kurzweil's work is to show that the exponential growth of technological leverage is independent of Moore's law. His prediction is that when Moore's law runs out (being tied to transistor density, it must), something else of the same shape will replace it. That is obviously yet to be proven, but there are some nice historical graphs at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_change http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_change.
