Well i was wondering how small can computers get in the future?? First we had these huge desktops that occupied most of the space. Then came the laptops from the heaviest to the thinnest, lightest to the colorful. Then there were these phones called PDA's like Blackberry, Iphone etc. that worked just a computer. I have even heard that some companies have developed computers small as wrist watch. Well is this the end of it?? If computers continue to shrink, I hope the companies provide us with a magnifying glass or a microscope...

They're as small as they're going to get. There's very little point in building a computer that can't be seen to the visible eye, because typing on the bugger would be a nightmare. They've not really gotten smaller of late; I can think of PDAs being around as early as 1980, and I've owned PCs that are smaller than the keyboard I'm actually using now as early as twenty years ago.
That's excepting if they develop any nanotechnology that can be implanted into the brain, of course, but at that point, I think we're going to have to stop thinking of them as computers.

It wouldn't get that small. They could just implant one into your brain if it got that small. We would be people walking with microchips on our brain. We might not even bother to say high and just email each other in our heads. It would be hard to make a difference of imagination and emails in our head if ever this may be possible in the future.
