Back to the original question, will their come a time when we cannot make a smaller microprocessor and a faster computer?
What about diseases. Do you believe their is a cure for every ailment that exists (cancer, aids) and it's just a matter of finding the right combination of antidotes.
I'm just wondering if we're coming up to a plateua.

If there is a "plateau" we as humans are about 2 million years away from achieving it. As far as oil goes, alot of money is being spent on research of alternate fuel methods.
