Moore’s law, which was really more of a rule of thumb, is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years. I felt the impact of Moore’s law in the early years of my career as the PC revolution began to boom.
During the height of the PC revolution, things were moving fast while corporations like Microsoft, Novell, and Borland claimed ownership and helped set standards for this new era of computing. The fact that CPU power was doubling every 18 to 24 months became a much-needed asset at the time to allow complex features and functionalities to become realities.
