Question 8:Connect

X's law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware. The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years.The trend has continued for more than half a century and is not expected to stop until 2015 or later.
The capabilities of many digital electronic devices are strongly linked to X'slaw: processing speed, memory capacity, sensors and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras. All of these are improving at (roughly) exponential rates as well.This has dramatically increased the usefulness of digital electronics in nearly every segment of the world economy.X's law precisely describes a driving force of technological and social change in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Answer:Moore's law,named after Gordon moore,Intel's co-founder
