Ongoing evolution in computing from "summary" of Fire in the Valley by Paul Freiberger,Michael Swaine
The world of computing is constantly evolving, with new technologies and innovations emerging at a rapid pace. This ongoing evolution is driven by a combination of factors, including advancements in hardware, software, and networking. As computing power continues to increase and become more affordable, the possibilities for what can be achieved with computers are virtually limitless. One of the key drivers of this ongoing evolution is Moore's Law, which states that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years. This exponential growth in computing power has fueled a wave of innovation in areas such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things. As a result, computers are now capable of performing tasks that were once thought to be impossible, such as beating world champions at chess or driving cars autonomously. Anoth...
