ABSTRACT
Gordon E. Moore, a co-founder of Intel, made several observations in 1965 that formed the basis o f his now famous law. That law effectively states that, at the semiconductor industry's rate of technological development and advancement, the complexity of integrated circuits doubled every eighteen months. A decade later, Moore revised his estimate and proclaimed that it was slowing to about two years. Decades later, it would appear that, from a cutting-edge, high-tech perspective, Mr. Moore is on-target. Today's PCs, Tablet Computers, PDAs and newly introduced Smartphones are exponentially more powerful, and packed with more features than their antiquated predecessors of only two years. Computing platforms become smaller, faster, and less expensive with each passing year. It is insightful to consider how Moore's Law might apply to software and application development.
