      Yes, at least for now. We have to keep finding new technologies to make them faster though. Every couple of years we reach the limit to the what current limit. But with new inventions and looking more into the ways electricity can be manipulated we can get smaller. So for example electrons that carry electricity are negative- they they carry charge to a positive place- this creates current which is what we know as electricity, but they can also have a spin- clockwise or anticlockwise we can also use this spin to carry information too so this will help.

      Yeeeeh! They can do for the time being. We are always making and developing new technology to make things go quicker and be smaller. Very exciting! who knows what will be the limit! To infinity and beyonddd!
