Moore’s Law

Moore’s law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing software. The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years. The trend has continued for more than half a century and is not expected to stop until 2015 or later.

The comparison between this iMac in 2010 and a 2010 iPhone is astonishing. Imagine where we will be in ten years.
