“The pocket calculator’s fortunes have⟳ fallen ever since. It is a victim of “Moore’s Law,” the theory that the number⟳ of transistors that can be squeezed on to a microchip will roughly double⟳ every two years, thereby increasing computing power at the same rate.”

“How will industries and enterprises dependent upon and accustomed to Moore's Law continue⟳ to thrive? What might this disruption mean⟳ for society? And will the certainty of continued exponential change⟳ enshrined in Moore's Law ever become⟳ standard again?”

“CPU speeds continue⟳ to increase⟳ with no end⟳ in sight. For instance, Sun's UltraSPARC processor roadmap, shown in Figure⟳ 16-2, show⟳ CPU speed⟳ increasing from 143 MHz in 1995 to 1.5 Ghz in 2002, roughly doubling every year as predicted by Moore's Law.”
