Point of saturation

Moore's Law is maintained, adding new conditions, characteristics and criteria. We pursue not only for pure speed, but also energy efficiency, optimal system and the size of the transistor. In this field seen steady growth, albeit with slight delays. But, despite the perfection of mechanisms, we are missing one important fact. Namely increase in the number of computing devices in the world.
Activated smartphones capable of working, already more than the entire population of the globe, and the number continues to grow. Rapidly aging laptops, office computers and other computing devices quickly fill up the landfill or gathering dust in garages and basements. It would seem that their era has passed.
But man seeks to maximize the use of resources. BOINC distributed computing program allows you to use almost any computing device for the sake of progress. From anywhere in the world, with a minimum speed of the Internet, you can join the search for a cure for cancer, the creation of a new drug or banal counting the stars in the visible universe. Science for everybody. Science for everyone.
The total computing power of our planet is able to solve a lot of questions. The only problem is the creation of conditions for the maximum involvement in such projects. In any case, we already have a tool that can propel humanity in the future. We use them if we - depends only on us.
