What it basically means is computer chips get faster and cheaper all the time. Moore's Law is still in effect. At some point, we will see Intel move their chip-making to the moon or in zero gravity where they will continue getting faster and cheaper. Eventually, we will be able to fit 400 quintillion transistors on a chip the size of the period following this sentence.

When this happens, we'll pick our son, pick our daughter too, from the bottom of a long glass tube.

"... we'll pick our son, pick our daughter too, from the bottom of a long glass tube."

What a curious coincidence! I often had to retrieve my uncle from the bottom of a bottle ...
