Super-small computers of the future may not have much to do with electricity -- they will operate mechanically, like the Difference Engine (or a tinkertoy calculator), using nanotechnology to produce microscopic moving parts that complete complex computations at very high speeds. Those wacky Victorians weren't all that stupid (although they were much prettier about technology than us), so give 'em credit for something other than messing up our morals.
