Only watch this if you are in a philosophical mood, otherwise you'll get cross with it...it's overdramatic, it's American, but some of the facts in this (which are obviously a couple of years old) are mindboggling!

Overdramatic?

Not sure whether or not it's trying to make a point or just presenting the facts. I'm not entirely sure about the Moore's Law predictions - I don't see those working forever and neither do a lot of pundits (though I thought Moore's Law was on dodgy ground when Intel were struggling with the Prescott, and how wrong was I there).

I mean the music etc. Maybe it's not. I'm not 100% philosophical today though.

Me neither, and to prove it I didn't make any connection with the music (spent too much time reading).
