Based on this observation, which has now been applied to the Internet, digital media, and computers, it is believed that each of them doubles in speed and capacity every 18 months to 2 years.

Based on Moore’s law, Intel Corporation believes that by the year 2020, at the current expansion rate, every person on ...
