I don't see that future computers will require more power, for most people things have been moving towards lower power CPU and GPUs. Complete system-on-chips will probably be much more common. Though it's possible that dedicated gamer graphics cards may continue to suck more power..

Nvidia say that Pascal will be 4 times more energy efficient than present GPUs.

This is at least an hour of presentation by Nvidia, and you may find all of it interesting:

With the technology in 3D printing advancing well perhaps we could print our computers in the future.

yeah, I think I read about the first 3D printer that prints metal not long ago.

Wont be long before your buying cartridges of all sorts of materials I bet.

You can buy a 3D pen in Maplins at the minute - although it doesn't print in mid-air like that one.

I appreciate the technology but that sounds like a lot of money for a toy that I'd get bored of in 20 minutes. £100 would pay for a heavy night out for me and the mrs and we'd still have a bit of change for a kebab...
