Re: TL 9 microchips?
Given the nature of the S-curve, I tend to assume the next big technological change will come from some quarter that has nothing to do with computers - maybe genetics.
While I don't know much about it, the difference in the DNA sequencing etc. used to fight COVID, vs AIDS a few decades ago, is seems bigger than the computer advances in the same time. Quote:

Now 2300 AD is a post apocalypse setting (its 300 years after Twilight 2000) those sizes make some sense as they may have followed a different tech path and a lot of knowledge was lost Last edited by SimonAce; 06-04-2022 at 10:11 PM. |

This is not a culture with poor computer tech (especially as the stutterwarp needs a hefty computer to run it).
