On the other hand, the discovery is only four years old…

The deposition of stable thin-films is tricky and unreliable. The deposition technology has to be improved before Graphene thin-films and electronics make it to the prime time. If this hurtle can be overcome, I think that Graphene will take us to the ultimate limit of miniaturization where further progress is no longer possible. I expect this in the next 20 years.
