Actually, you are in pretty good company. As I recall, Andy Grove has said that by the year 2017 technology will have progressed to the point that the physical limitations of silicon will have been reached. A new substance will be necessary. (Personally, I'm planning on lightening up on my WFR position around mid 2015, to avoid any panic selling.) There was some talk a few months ago about an alternative to silicon. I do not recall the name, off hand. Again, as I recall, it was currently pretty expensive even compared to silicon, and the current "simple"(?) processors wouldn't realize enough of a performance increase for the extra dollars spent.
