How has technology changed over time? • How has technology changed since you were born? ERAU: RET 2011 By: Danielle Thomas
Ohhh how things change… • DVR is a lot easier to program than a VCR • Computer used to fill whole rooms and now you can run programs on your cell phone • Video games had blinking lights and now you can play games with people from around the world • Boom boxes were very large and now IPODs are small squares that fit in the palm of your hand or you can play music on your phone ERAU: RET 2011 By: Danielle Thomas

Moore’s Law “Moore's law, the observation made by Gordon Moore, co-founder of the Intel Corp., in a 1965 magazine article that the number of transistors per square inch on a microprocessor chip had doubled each year since the integrated circuit had been invented. This led Moore to predict that the number of transistors on a chip would double every 18 months-a time interval he later revised to every two years.” ERAU: RET 2011 By: Danielle Thomas
“Technically an axiom rather than a law, the prediction was subsequently dubbed Moore's law by the American physicist Carver Mead. The law became something of a self-fulfilling prophecy as microchip and electronics manufacturers competed to develop faster, smaller, and cheaper electronic devices; by the early 21st cent., the number of transistors on a typical memory chip had gone far beyond 1 billion.” ERAU: RET 2011 By: Danielle Thomas
“It is generally accepted that technological improvements in miniaturization and microelectronics will reach a point where circuits are only a few atoms wide, making it physically impossible to make them even smaller. To maintain the pace projected by Moore's law, new technologies such as quantum computers, optical switches, and spintronics will need to be developed.” Read more: http://www.answers.com/topic/moore-s-law#ixzz1Ru6TEX10 ERAU: RET 2011 By: Danielle Thomas
