It is likely that there will be a range of technologies that will
enable consumers to fabricate their own hardware in a way that can
compete directly with commercial offerings. Is this the type of
disruption you are looking for, or did you have something else in
mind?

you do know you states that in past tense despite the fact there is
another 10 years to go before that year happens.

My Original Answer
what do you mean by disruptive?

protesters. it is always protesters..


humsn beings gain predominance as the global mind is launched.

Finally, factories are switched over to 0 emissions as polar icecaps
reach 'danger' areas.

The looming threat of a pole reversal does not abate.


My revised answer

NONE.. cause I will be in paradise....

That's an easy question. It will be the heterointegration of III-V
compound semiconductors with silicon. This is not done today because
the gate oxides available for compound semiconductors today are
inferior to the silicon dioxide and related dielectrics readily
available on silicon. Oxides for silicon become too leaky (due to
being so few monolayers that tunneling is excessive) at the end of the
SIA roadmap in 2013, so there's a need to cut over coon after that.
The motivation is speed: Some of these compound semiconductors are
forty times faster than silicon!

As for the giga-nonsense about nano, nanoscale transistors were
described in 1999. Seven years later, the fastest is a whopping 40
MHz. Big whoop.
