Individual computers became tiny, but we are now talking about gigantic clusters and data centers, with processes floating somewhere without a definite place or size. Our abstraction level went up a bit. And with civilizations it could happen something similar. The road ahead may be more cultural or of complex enough memes than physical. At least where speed/fluent enough communication can be established. But space is big, we can't decide if its affordable ever in any future interstellar or intergalactic travel or communication, so far we are stairs makers thinking that eventualmente we could build one to reach the moon, but reality may make that totally impractical. And that could be another solution to the Fermi Paradox.
