I remember the News story about the computing power of gameboys or Atari or what ever and how they were being combined and converted into weapons by those that did not have access to other computers.

We underestimate ourselves often.

On the horizon we have Nano tech, very efficient Nuclear and hopefully as source of power Fusion (other than the Sun) and "Necessity is the Mother of Invention".

Your points are all valid. But I would add this: we also tend to underestimate the power of the forces of chaos. At the height of the Roman Empire, how many foresaw the Middle Ages?
