1) We're approaching another boundry for processor technology. In other words, we're about to cap out how fast we can make chips unless they come up with a new technology. We can only make the wires in the chips so small before they can no longer carry an electrical signal. We're getting close apparently. Some say in the next 4-6 years we might hit that mathematical minimum size, unless we get a new paradigm in processor tech!
That's where carbon based computing comes in...
