Won't carbon nanotubes enable high-speed, power-conservative digital circuits? If they ever find a cheap manufacturing process for VLSI carbon nanotube circuits, watch out. I do agree, however, that Moore's law can't go on forever...or can it? At some point, assuming the demands on processing scale, analog circuits will be required to perform the function of traditionally digital circuits.
