He predicted that this would be the case for years to come. But the pace has slowed down with the limitations of massive transistors in a small space emitting so much heat and with the speed limit of the electron, being the speed of light that his prediction has been limited…

in the brain by a thread and each task competes for cognitive resources (Salvucci & Taatgen, 2008). Salvucci and Taatgen (2008) suggest that a thread symbolizes one task and that each thread has its own control structure. In addition, threads can coordinate with each other (Salvucci & Taatgen, 2008).
