Computer technology laws - Newton - B2

Since 1965, Moore's law has observed that computer chips become ... as powerful (powerful x 2) every 24 months.

A similar formula, Kryder's law, says that hard disk space is only ... (1/2 expensive) as expensive as it was two years ago.

Gordon Moore says his law is more beautiful ... he had first realized:

Yet another law, Wirth's law, states that software gets slower ... (+rapidly) than hardware gets faster!
