It won’t be as big or as buzzy, but I think we’ll see more and more task specific ASICS as Moore’s law continues to slow down.

But then, isn't the problem with this kind of innovation that, while it might be a revolution, it probably won't spawn a billion blog articles? Consider, for instance, the photocopier. It absolutely upended the office, putting millions of people out of jobs, upturning entire industries - and I doubt many articles was written about it. There are lots of inventions like stirrups, froth flotation, or barbed wire that don't really get much fanfare, but irrevocably alter the world. I think it's the same with tech.

The bloggy technologies (Internet, smart phones, better batteries) all enabled people like us to start new companies that depend on the tech.
