Moores law:

Every 18 month, computers will be twice as fast and have twice as much RAM for the same price.

I have seen a graph that this was true since the 60s (when he said this prophecy)

Ray Kurzweil (if someone knows him) says, in 2030 will a 1000$ computer be able to simulate a thing wich is as complex as a human brain.

And 2060 will a 1000$ computer be able to simulate the brains of the population of a whole planet.

THAT will be cool games then ;)
But possibly we have a moral problem if its legal to kill a computersimulated character, wich is able to think like a human beeing.
