Is there not an inherent problem with silicon chips though? I read somewhere that the gaps on the circuit can never be any less than 3 atoms wide as a rule because they would just short and be useless. If this is the case then your starting to get into the realms of bio-circuitry. I'm probably wrong I usually am.

There is the new carbon bubble.  I wonder if that will affect computing.

I can't see it having a major impact. I think computers are near the bottom of a long list.
