Week 2 Readings
I know I've heard of Moore's Law before, but I think every time I read about it or hear about it, it still amazes me. My dad always tells me about how he used the huge punch card computers at Cornell and it's amazing to think that now I can just pack up my Thinkpad and take it with me. And mistakes are a lot easier to fix. I do wish, however, that Moore's Law did apply to cars and that a BMW only cost twenty-five cents.

Hi Rachel,
I agree, it would be nice if Moore's law applied to other things. I find it amazing that people have the brains to put theories on paper and they work for years to come.

I second that motion about the cars, and its funny how small computers and micro chips have gotten... and furthermore, how much even the tiniest computers are capable of!
