MOORES LAW
Deals with steady rate of miniaturizing of technology Named for Intel co-founder Gordon Moore States that chip density about doubles every 18 months Prices decline First described in 1965 Experts predict this trend might continue until ~2020 limited when size reaches molecular level
MOORES LAW
Storage Space
2 times ever 9 months
Fiber Optics
2 times every 6 months
Internet Traffic

TECHNOLOGY NOW
Technology has changed much from the past from the first cell phone to the newest touch screen voice activated cell phones.
Computers have also evolved from the computer with a CRT monitor to thin laptops people carry in their backpacks.
SO WHATS NEXT?
NANOTECHNOLOGY:
Nanotechnology is the process where every matter is manipulated at the atomic level, providing the ability to build objects from their most basic parts. Just Like robotics and artificial intelligence. These advances in nanotechnology are likely to continue in the future, making this one of the most powerful aspects of future computing.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
A branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers
The capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior
INTELLIGENT SIMULATIONS
IBM BlueBrain
QUANTUM COMPUTING
A quantum computer is a machine that performs calculations based on the laws of quantum mechanics.
A theoretical model is the Quantum Turing machine Universal Quantum Computer.
The future holds advanced technology such as projected keyboards and UI, extensive surface computing, pen computers, and many more.
SURFACE COMPUTING
Surface computing is the term for the use of a specialized computer GUI in which traditional GUI elements are replaced by intuitive, everyday objects.
Instead of a keyboard and mouse, the user interacts directly with a touch-sensitive screen.
