Moore's Law

Moore's Law states that the number of transistors that can be put on a  ?microchip doubles every 18 months.


There's a really cool statement by Gordon Moore that goes something like this:

''I calibrate my ability to predict the future by saying that in 1980 if you'd asked me about the most important applications of the microprocessor, I probably would have missed the PC. In 1990 I would have missed the Internet. So here we are just past 2000, I'm probably missing something very important.''
