I think quantum computing with quantum states in atoms being transistor states will be final progression of Moore's Law. But we are definitely feeling the effects of the end right now. I think it was Michio Kaku who said that we have about 50 years left until Moore's Law is officially done ushering in the collapse of the industry and global economy.

>I think it was Michio Kaku who said that we have about 50 years left until Moore's Law is officially done ushering in the collapse of the industry and global economy. Not even sure what he means. The efficiency of processors, especially beyond a certain point, hardly makes any difference to the "global economy". Heck, there are even notable economists saying that the effect of the whole "www" on the economy wasn't that special compared to things like the first telecommunications, road and planes. It's difficult to see when ones lives and breath in the IT industry echo chamber, but, you know, diminishing returns. The fact that despite 50 years of Moore's law we didn't have anything like a 8,589,934,592 [1] times larger global economy, actually not even a 100x larger, should be enough proof that the Moore's law doesn't have a strong influence on it... [1] 2^((50*12)/18).

  The effect of the silicon computers was huge however (office productivity, industry automation, embedded systems, numerical modeling of analog systems such as biotech, airfoils, etc)
