The progress we've seen in computers over the last 50 years can be roughly described by Moore's law.
Essentially we've been making increasingly smaller transistors so that we can put more of them on a single chip. That technique is now approaching its fundamental limits.
My personal conclusion is that this means that the current technology that the average consumer and business has will probably be here to stay for a while. Perhaps the end of Moore's law will force us to come up with a revolutionary break through but new technology is typically expensive and people are slow to catch on. From an entrepreneurial perspective, I think there are some huge opportunities here as computers become more specialized to the way they are used.
