The Technology to Hold our Texts

I took this photo as a personal reflection on Moore's Law, which was described in his 1965 paper titled “Cramming more components onto integrated circuits”. Moore observed that the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubled approximately every two years . Related to Moore's Law is Mark Kryder's (2005) observation that hard drives are shrinking at a much faster pace than the doubling transistor count. The slowly shrinking physical size and radically expanding storage capacities evidenced in this picture serve to illustrate the work of these two researchers.
