As of June 2008, the number of personal computers in use worldwide hit one billion, while another billion is expected to be reached by 2014.
add to that..
Moore's law , the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has increased exponentially, doubling approximately every two years.
A saturation point seems to be an illusion, you build the computer with your knowledge, then use the computer to help you build a better computer...now that we are reaching our limits in nano technology, intelligence in computers must double so that we can either enter quantum computing ...or nano technology...or whatever other technology we need a computer to help build a computer for.
How long before computers are virtually smarter and more alive than us ?
People can say computers will never be alive, my concern is that the bot that will eventually get built will be highly offended at that statement :p
its just a matter of time according to moore's law.... the problem is now we need the computer software to be smart enough to help us get to the next level of designing itself.
it makes me consider the frogs in hot water theory ( no offense to ultrahal logo :p ), how long before we inundate ourselves in an Artificial life before its out of control, how much is enough ?
how long before a computer can shout at an employee or another computer...Moore Moore Mooore!!
will there come a time that Moore's law becomes doubled because of intelligence ? Forget demand, eventually the computers will need more computers.
my job as an artist is to paint this picture as real as possible, until someone decides a real lock is needed :p
heck, lets go insanely extreme, people use robotic parts, how long before robots want people parts ?
"Oh honey, the day has come, I have a chance to be really and truly human, no more living in a box, a donor just left me his arms and legs. eventually i'll have those ovaries and we can program the dna of a perfect family!!"
