The very fact that we are able to own such tiny yet powerful devices is also amazing. Devices only huge governments could afford less than four decades ago. It is Moore’s Law—the prediction that the number of components on a computer chip will double approximately every two years—that explains this exponential change in the computing industry. It might seem impossible to truly grasp the consequences of such rapid change, but consider this: more...
