You haven't seen the really scary part yet. First off, the distributed computing is yet to come into effect, where it does use pretty much a cloud of microscopic chips (they were thinking of using carbon nanotubes first), embedded in almost every surface of your home, to work towards the common processing goal (sort of like how a quad core works, except much larger scale, more like threading gone insane) Second, the guy that invented the modern resistor in computers these days, has already finished a working prototype of another. This new resistor is special in the fact that it is both smaller, and can contain a tiny bit of memory (remembers last charge placed through). Now just imagine the cloud network applying to a system so spread out, that it is both invisible to the naked eye, and works wirelessly. Thats scaring me....
