Week 9: Clear- Moore's Law

Welcome to my week 9 blog!

 I found this weeks assignment to be very interesting. I have had previous classes that have discussed Moore's Law, and have always found it to be very interesting how factual it actually is. Since Gordon Moore introduced his theory in 1965, it has always seemed to be very true when it comes to the amount of computer speed and pricing that we have seen today.

From Channelintel, this is a comical example of Moore's Law from the Mythbusters.

I personally have a 4GB, 500GB of memory laptop, which is a strong jump from my parents 256MB, 250GB of memory desktop that was extremely high tech when we purchased it.


This graph from Geek.com shows a timeline of how Moore's Law progresses from the early days into the 19th century. The theory seems to be outrageous when you think about it, but it actually has surprisingly come true. This technology has even advanced into cell phones, which were not even though of in the times of Gordon Moore. 

Thank you, Austin Richard
