People must have thought it was crazy a couple decades ago that technology wouldn't be this far today. Think about it, if humans have evolved this far in a couple hundred years, think what could happen when you and I are dead!
Yes digital media is taking over, it's called change and we all knew it was coming. Newspapers will be gone with in ten years. And broadcast TV as well if they don't allow people to watch what they want when they want, commercial free. The internet can easily replace both of these things.
Pretty sure that making something microscopically tiny from something that is pretty close to the limits of technology/known physics laws, has nothign to do with what you just said
yea really people are idiots for thinking computers as big as houses will shrink to fit in your pocket and be a billion fold faster, oh, wait, nevermind
Pretty sure you can't make a conductor to move energy to the components in a computer that small without having the conductor burn. Only way it would be possible is if major breakthroughs in electricity, or another manner to power the components were to happen. That's just one issue though, to make a computer that small there would have to be many extreme breakthroughs in how it's built, highly unlikely.
