Technology will keep improving, although we are approaching limits in certain areas unless we drastically change the way we design our processors and memory.

It is ten gigabytes per second. By persuading silicon to admit laser beams computers and other devices will handle light as well as electrons.
It is a 10,000 -fold improvement over the standard limit of one meg per second.
So huge digital files or high resolution videos would be transferred at a rate of 10 gigabits a second.
