In a nut shell Moores's Law states that every couple of years the processing power of a computer chip will increase. it is without a doubt that we have seen the immense power of these chips thus far and one can only wonder just when will it end or will it?
As we all know when you breakdown on object into the elements in it made of, you can only go as far down as a single atom. Engineers have been able to place more and more smaller components onto processing chips to increase their power and some people wonder if you can breakdown a component any smaller than an atom.
if you can then Moore's law will then become obsolete, but if you cant them Gordan Moore's theory would become a fact! Only time will tell!!

If Moore's Law becomes fact, then that means that computers will grow more powerful throughout time. If that is the case, I fear something like the Terminator or Matrix Movies where mankind becomes obsolete to machines. Although the advances in technology have no doubt benefited society in many ways, it is still scary to think that one day a machine may have the same induction and deduction capabilities as a human being. Truthfully I do not like to think about that.
ReplyDeleteThere are many things throughout history that mankind has regretted inventing, but at this point most are weapon related. I feel that Moore's Law is almost like a warning, trying to tell us that technology can only go so far. I don't know, more than likely I am just being a paranoid nerd about the entire subject.
