My first custom chip was 5 micron- by Ferranti
Long ago somebody told me 'with the way ever more integration happens we will be able to store whole movies on a chip'.
I was not so sure, that was before MPEG compression was invented.
Then it really happened, now also without compression...
What's next...?
Indeed the limit is in the size of those Si atoms...
OTOH after WW3 and big EMPs, maybe keep some old tubes for communication... Radiation effect on atom sized transistors? Chips?
