[lbo-talk] Fwd: Death of Moore's Law Will Cause Economic Crisis

[Fernando Cassia]

Gordon Moore's famous law about the doubling of transistor density and
power every two years will not only end it could bring economic
disaster in its wake, respected scientist Michio Kaku has predicted in
a new book. [ Link http://ho.io/n3nt ]

Kaku sets out the crunch moment as being the point at which
ultraviolet light can no longer tuned to etch ever smaller circuits on
to silicon wafers, which on current trends will kick in less than a
decade from now. From that moment on, Moore's Law will gradually
diminish, and the effects will not only be technological but economic.
