How far can we push computing?

Moore's Law, the long trend of packing more transistors onto chips, has slowed, and other scaling laws for power, storage and fiber are flattening too. Big gains now come from building larger data centers, with six major cloud companies on track to spend over $700 billion this year. These are engineering trends rather than physical limits, and physics still leaves room for denser computing.
