Moore's law

1. (computing) An empirical observation that the density of transistors on a chip doubles every two years.
   • 2012 March 4, Alice Rawsthorn, “Farewell, Pocket Calculator?”, in The New York Times‎:

     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?
