How much smaller can computers get

i know eventually we get to electrons and photons or whatever the quantum objects are, as these cannot be further broken down, which thus means that systems of the compositional complexity of computers cannot be made at such levels.

Factor Name

10-1 deci
10-2 centi
10-3 milli
10-6 micro
10-9 nano
10-12 pico
10-15 femto
10-18 atto
10-21 zepto
10-24 yocto
 
there is no limit, theres even smaller things than that called quarks. It will take thousands of years to get that small so we wont be alive then....besides, I like the sizes of things now, i dont want any smaller computers because i am 6'4" and its very annoying using stuff made for small people.
 
i know there are smaller and smaller particles, like quarks, but it doesn mean you can make complex computer systems at such levels.
