Moore’s Law related to microprocessors but it can be applied to futurity itself.The brain is a chip which has a chip on its shoulder. However change itself is geometric and even exponential, rather than arithmetic. Remember the covers of those old sci books such as Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination? The main character is actually the prototype of a rootless earthing but he’s not like any human you have ever seen—he's actually a distant traveler returned to earth, but imagine life thousands of years in the future when English is tantamount to a cuneiform or an ancient language found in papyrus? Perhaps humankind will have departed into the cybersphere with daily life a virtual reality game. That’s one way to deal with global warming!
