Moore's Law

"On April 19, 1965 Electronics Magazine published a paper by Gordon Moore in which he made a prediction about the semiconductor industry that has become the stuff of legend. Known as Moore's Law, his prediction has enabled widespread proliferation of technology worldwide, and today has become shorthand for rapid technological change."

Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles about every two years. It is this law that has driven the advancement of technology in today's world. What this means is that the more transistors on a chip, the more computing power it can deliver ... ususally measures in MIPS (million intrsuctions per second). Moore's Law also means the cost of production will decrease.

As silicon-based components and integrated circuits gain more in performance, they will as become exponentially cheaper to produce. Making it more widely available and easier to integrate into our everyday lives.
