I thought that too, with blocks halving. 

But surely as processing power becomes greater, the blocks will be mined quicker? 


Yes, but difficulty adjustement occurs every 2 weeks, so it won't last forever.
And it can be done in both sides: difficult can increase (like now) or decrease later on, if less miners find it profitable and stopped mining.
