Moore’s Law Reading Assignment Two Sept. 2
I remember hearing stories about a computer that is located at the University of Pennsylvania that takes up a whole room. When they had issues with bugs it involved an actual bug. A technician would have to search the entire room to find the vacuum tube that would need changing. Down through the years, I would see commercials promising faster and smaller computer chips. Unlike the new and improved laundry detergent commercials that also ran down through the years, the technological advancement of computer transmitters has held true. Moore’s law describing the number of transistors to be placed on an integrated circuit to rapidly increase about every two years has been the case. We’ve gone from the size of a room to sizes smaller then a bug! When it comes down to it, the Moore’s law is a good I-told you-so exponential theory that at the same time keeps us looking forward to bigger and better things to come(or should we say smaller and better)!
