Moore's Law in Silicon will eventually run out. This is true and is physically provable. And there are already a lot of smart minds (at Intel and at a few other companies and at many universities) developing post-silicon technologies. It is possible that we will one day shrink down to true molecular electronics using organic semiconductors or similar. As Feynman said, there's lots of room at the bottom. 3D molecular electronics are exciting for me---architectures will have to be redesigned from scratch, maybe RISCs too. It's an exciting time. (I omit talking about quantum computing because that's currently mostly theoretical. But back in the day, Turing, Church, et al were talking about computability, etc when a real computer (von neumann architecture) did not exist yet. So maybe (I would be confident enough to say probably) down the line, we'll have a quantum computer, but it may not be soon.)
