[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 132769, member: 6277"] I broke my leg when I was 16 and they thought they were going to have to remove the leg. Kept the leg but they told me that by the time I was 50 I probably would not be able to walk. I was told I needed a knee replacement before I was 50 years old and that the replacements would only last maybe ten years. I waited till I was almost 60 to get it replaced and was told that the knee I have now would probably last the rest of my life. Technology of all sorts is growing at an exponential rate. Moore's law is a good example. This trend has continued for more than half a century. However, the 2010 update to the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Technology_Roadmap_for_Semiconductors"]International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors[/URL] has growth slowing at the end of 2013,[SUP][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law#cite_note-14"][/URL][/SUP]after which time transistor counts and densities are to double only every three years.
