In 1965, the Director of Research at Fairchild Semiconductor, Gordon Moore, made a prediction about the future of semiconductors.

He said that over the next 10 years, the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every two years.

His prediction didn't just hold true for the next 10 years, but is held true for almost 60 years,

and it has driven the global computer industry.

on this episode of Moore's Law, but there's also a law that I call the law of Scotty Vest.

It says you don't even know what you might want to carry with you until you have the pockets to do it.

Sure, maybe you've put your wallet and smartphone in your pockets, but you've probably never even

been able to carry a tablet with cables, charger, a battery, and more because you never had the pockets to do it.

Once you have the freedom that more pockets gives you, you'll think of many ways to use them

and it'll just make your life easier.

Many of you are probably familiar with Moore's Law, or of at least heard of it.

For those of you that aren't familiar with it, let me restate what it is.

Moore's law stipulates that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit

will double approximately every two years.

Despite the name, Moore's law isn't a physical law of nature like the law of thermodynamics.

Moore's law is more of an observation and a prediction than a hard and fast rule.

In fact, as we'll see in a bit, eventually Moore's law will have to end at some point because as you keep doubling things,

the numbers eventually start colliding into the laws of physics.

Before we get into that, however, we need to know where Moore's law came from, and for that we
