This document discusses several emerging technologies: 1. Moore's Law states that computers will continue to get faster and cheaper as more transistors are packed onto chips. This pushes technology progress but also presents challenges to make things even smaller. 2. Silicon photonics uses light to make computers communicate faster, helping performance while reducing energy usage. However, more work is needed before it is widely used. 3. Quantum computing could crack encryption much faster than classical computers but also pushes development of more secure encryption methods. 4. Optical computing uses light instead of transistors for very fast calculation, but building practical optical computers remains challenging. 5. Tera-scale computing refers to incredibly fast and powerful computers that could solve major
