I don't think the PC is even close to being "done."

Lets say you can shrink to 65nm and you get

a wearable PC, maybe 2GHz in a cell phone box that uses the cell phone to replace your home phone and broadband connection.

with a heads up display that uses a holographic projection screen, perhaps with a pair of special glasses connected via bluetooth to your PC.

and you wonder where the keyboard is? Why not voice recognition? I've also read of holographic projected keyboards onto any flat space... air typing!

Now you think your wearable PC that has you connected to the net, your finances, your family members, your job WHEN YOU WANT TO BE is complete?

Well, what about if you want to take a trip to Africa and talk to some bush tribesman or deep into China and speak to a food seller? You might want a more powerful PC that can translate on the fly much like a universal translator you see on Startrek.

If you are connected via satellite to the net, you might get to make your trip to Africa and not even use a vacation day!

we are only getting started. :)
