Back in the 1960s, it seemed like better communications could solve all our problems. Don’t blame the technology for the failure of that dream, says Annalee Newitz ...

For the longest time, there's been a golden rule in technology, often shorthanded as Moore's Law: Every year, transistors get smaller, and devices get faster and more capable as a result.

The concept of Moore's Law was first introduced by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, in 1965. Moore's prediction that the number of components (transistors) on a chip would double every year has been ...

And while the microchip world may be divided on whether or not Moore’s Law is actually dead, all of our interviewees agreed that performance gains will continue long into the future. But what ...
