Expect a slow down in the near future with rate of increase on storage capacity and processor speed. Moore's law will soon be clashing with the laws of physics and we will be at a standstill until we figure out better approaches to microlithography. Optical lithography has carried us a long way but its reaching its end, its highly debatable what will be next but I believe it to be Extreme Ultra Violet litho (EUV)... very hot topic, very interesting.

I remember hearing this same thing multiple times in the past. Yet we find ways to produce faster and faster machines, larger storage capacity's.
I do not anticipate the speed at which we develop our tech. to slow at all.

You could very well be right however there is no definitive way to know other than relying on Moore's law... which IMO shouldn't be considered a law. Atomic limits have never been a factor in the past but they are becoming so... semiconductors is truly becoming a cutting edge technology as the application of physics is starting to go hand in hand with the current knowledge of physics.
Another thing to ponder is, what exactly is it that drives Moore's Law? If you think about it there is no natural force acting upon it... seems more like luck that has kept it going than anything else.
