Interestingly enough chip sizes have gotten bigger and chip density has

they were predicting that IC's were near the end of their development because
they could not get smaller and they could not produce bigger chips. As usual the
experts were wrong. You can not lose in the long run betting against the experts.
So presumably the people who actually did make smaller ICs and bigger chips were not experts.

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
