Moore's law states that the number of transistors will double every year in a processor. Well, okay. Every two years now. But this was made on April 19, 1965 and it is holding pretty much true to date after 45 years.
What will the future bring? How will Bill Gates figure out what to do to eat up that transistor power generated by the hardware side of technology?
The world may never benefit from Moore's law. It seems to me that issues with computers have not improved that much over the last 20 years. I used to spend hours updating my computer, I spent many many seconds to bring it up and to shut it down. It is the same thing today. Nothing changes. The hardware is multitudes more impressive than what it was 20 years ago, but the software is moronic and wasteful to resources compared to what it was 20 years ago.
