Actually physical limits like the speed of light which limits clock speed or
quantum uncertainty which limits the smallness achievable ie we've got 22 nanoMeter we probably will not ever get 2 nanoMeter so placing great trust in Moores law is going to lead to great heartache no matter what you believe.

Moores law is on the cusp of a great STOP, CEASE, GO NO FARTHER.

To quote James May "Modern youth think that your music collection fits in your back pocket" but Library of Congress probably never will (I've not done the math, but you get the picture)
