i allready wrote this on another post but it semmed more relevent to cpus.. with tecnology it allways goes out of date u buy the most expencive cpu the next day its out of date and u can buy it for half the price can there be a point where tecnology cant be improved any more and we would be stuck with teh same cpu for a long time :confused: ????

ya know.. ive thought the same thing.. and yes, it will have to reach an end.. because u can only go soo fast, and the picture/image can only look soo real.. the only thing they can really atleast have a chance on keep upgrading would be harddrives, the space and what not.. but who knows i guess.. maybe im wrong!

Take a look at these Computer Predictions from the 1940's through 80's.

Although it is hard to imagine how computers will change in the future, there will always be new and unimaginable applications to be discovered. Just think how amazing the internet, 3d games, video editing, and even the computers in everyday appliances would seem to the people who made these predictions. :eek:

there would be a time in the future were computer tecnology line would be consistantly straight say in about 10 to 12 years thiis would happen were itr would not be possible to improve tecnology for ages or maybe never as some one stated above yes hard drives would probley increase in size capabilty but even that would eventually not be able to be inproved anymore

well in terms of cpu speed the current techology (silicon based chips) they have a limit to the speed of chips.They are already researching on dna processors and even processors using laser techology so probally some time in the furture speeds will be well over 10 ghz (in the sence of speech)

New technolgies mean new progress

Hey new technologies mean new progress. There is not going to be a halt in new technology as long as profits from its products and ivestment do not stop. I mean it's impossible to stop progress. The only thing we cannot predict is the rate of progress. As with the 10gig processors, i think it's gonna be here sooner than you think (it's here already but not for the public). Anyway I bet you get my point.

The biggest new technologies consumer is the military. So if there's a chance to achieve the world peace (I seriously doubt that), that could be the end of technological progress...

Technology (At least as processors go) doubles every eighteen months. Don't be surprised if in a year and a half, you hear about around 7 Ghz processors for the public. Someone even recently OC'ed a 3.6 P4 to 6 Ghz using liquid nitrogen. With new methods of storing data, no, we will never hit a limit, sorry.

With every small breakthrough we make, we get more valuable information. There will be small gaps i bet where we don't have any progress...but one day someone will piece the puzzle together and hit it big again. Technology will only cease to develop if the human race ceases to want more from it. and trust me...that won't happen...

It happened before... The Church stopped the progress in technology for centuries in the dark ages. Just imagine how far we could be if back then scientists weren't burn for their discoveries -- THz processors on the market, for example.
So until now, christianity was the worst thing for the human race.
But is there a possibility to halt the progress in the same way in the future?

seen i-robot? if we stopped that kind of technology for a while, and then kicked back into it, people would say it was a bad decision. but at the time it REALLY was dangerous. i don't think i's fair to judge a group of people for what they indirectly did in the past. i know im christian and im all for advances in technology. i know you werent pointing anyone out...but im just saying.

Dangerous for what?
And what if someone will declare technology dangerous in the future?

it was dangerous to the people at the time. the entire world (known world) was against it (based on the authority figure christianity). it''s easy now to say "they were dumb, and wrong" but if you were to go back in time and actually see how things were, you would have different views. not different opinions mind you...just see it differently. going against the government is next to impossible nowadays, and punishable by death back then.if technology was dangerous in the future...i;d have to decide for myself. i might agree..i might not. depends on what kind of technology.

i heard something about how they might be able to use certain particles that could have 3 different stages unlike current transistors wich only have on and off. it speed up proccessing alot and would be very small. it was just some wild theory i read in a magazine though

i don't get what u mean? solid, liguid, gas stages? or u mean like on, off, standby? so confused lol.

You mean in reference to quantum computing? Or do you mean something like Tristate(tm) devices

You mean state? :p (there's also suspensions of multipl states :p)

I dont think it would stop technology but it would slow it down to a crawl, but like you said "I seriously doubt that" so do I, which sucks but thats how it is, only if we all work to get closer to it, but I feel the avg. user will force tech. to keep progressing, but not at the same rate that the military has, and I dont feel it will ever stop although it might take a break for a little while then someone will have a break through and tech. will be back up and growing

the fact is that there will always be a new way of making something. in this post the progression from silicon chips to quantam computing has been mentioned. whether this will really happen does not matter, what matters is that in decades time people will be debating this same topic but seeing the silicon chip as a thing of the past and chuckling to themselves about our 80gb HDD's.
