yes i know - it was just to emphasize the "non-infinity".non-infinite = finite
Perfect functionality is very different from perfect performance. Do you see perfect performance anytime soon? Or super conducting circuits anytime in the near future?
Finite board size and energy is also misleading because they neglect to account for board and energy consumption. Who says things can't get smaller or more efficient?
The whole point of new developments is that you don't know what new developments are possible until you achieve them. Maybe you should register for some electronics research magazines, there is a lot of stuff going on. Like straining silicon to increase charge carrier mobilities or new semiconductor materials that are 20x faster and more efficient than silicon.
Remember that circuits can get very complex, which leaves lots of room for change and improvement.
I wouln't agree witth that, DNA and reproduction clearly draws the line between living and non-living.dknguyen said:There isn't even a line between what is dead or alive.

Actually - electronical engineering is badly limited, isn't it ?
Take each component and each /working/ connection between them + a non-infinite size of boards, non-infinite available energy, perfect functionality, superconducting wires.
Soon, all possible circuits are made and new development is fairly impossibleAm I wrong ?
( Purely restricted on electronics ... what future physics will bring is another topic. )

All of those are very doable. 2500ma batteries last more than 2 days under avg. use. Sony, Mitsubishi are two television brands that survive a long time. As for computers, don't get caught up in the technology race or you'll never be satisfied with the one you have. Now, that last request requires divine intervention since He was the one who created her in the first place.bigkim100 said:Ill just be happy if Technology can make a Tv that will last longer than a few years, a computer that isnt out of date a few months after its purchased, a double A battery that will last in my kids CD player longer than a couple of days, and a woman that doesnt bite my head off every 20 some odd days.
Until these things happen...Tecnology still has a way to go.

No - Music is much more complicated than this. Read a bit about it...In comparison, Music is at a much greater risk of drying up, having just 7 notes (+ sharps & flats) and it hasn't happened. So why would electronics?
Just as electronics is also much more complicated than you are making it seem. How many ways can you build a car before all possible designs are built? How about cities? A single processor is much more complicated than those. Every field is limited when thinking the way you do._nox_ said:No - Music is much more complicated than this. Read a bit about it...

Just think about wheels. You'd think we would have run out of the different kinds of wheels to make by now.

And if the universe isn't infinite, what happens where it ends?
