"Moore's law" is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years.
As you can see above Moore's law is a fairly boring statement about transistor density doubling every two years, however the observed evolution of computing devices from which Moore's law is based and what that trend could mean for the future is nothing short of amazing. We've all heard the anecdotes about how in the 50's computers the size of an office building were need to achieve the computing power found in smartphone. Not only is this decrease in size mind boggling its even more impressive when you consider that the 1950's computer cost 100's of millions of dollars versus just a few hundred for an iphone. Even in the last 10 years we've seen the processing power of some of the original smartphones packed into small devices like the iWatch, while simple wifi, bluetooth, and gps enabled devices are becoming so affordable they are practically treated as disposal. The prevalence of such wireless devices has enabled the development of wearable technology like the fitbit and the connection of seemly everything to the Internet, a concept called the Internet of Things. Below is a collection of videos to bring you up to speed on these concepts.
Now that you have a good understanding of the recent evolution of personal technologies you will need to write a three paragraph post about an article or video discussing the use of such technology in a field related to your major. You can also structure your response as a reply to another student's post if your source discusses a similar topic. Potential themes to focus on include the use of mobile devices by industry professionals, the use of mobile devices/apps by customers, the use of super-computers and/or artificial intelligence, the use of data science/big data, the effects of the digital revolution, unique/unexpected uses of technology, etc.
Also, I recommend drafting your post in textEditor, notepad or word to avoid losing your work.
