Random thought: computing may very well be spread out one day if computational machinery is cheap to build but limited by heat. I could see computers becoming much, much larger, but with a smaller duty cycle for a particular compute element to assist with thermal management. Imagine building structures, like tables, walls, or skyscrapers, out of nothing but doped silicon.
