Future Technologies

If one lesson can be learned from our past it is to NOT put limits on what technology might someday produce. Assuming that ANYTHING is possible might be the best assumption. For 

example, consider what happens when we begin to extrapolate Moore's Law 10 and 20 years into 

the future (see Tab. 2 below)?
