January 2, 2025 # On Moore's Law
It was around the beginning of the 21st century that I began to enjoy the financial freedom of buying
PCs of my choice, and Moore's law was a blessing in that matter. Although I never bought any cutting-edge
PCs exactly because of Moore's law, which means a cutting-edge PC is merely a year ahead of a PC at one-third
the price, and I never felt the desire to triple my spending for that. As time went by, however, Moore's law,
though hasn't been declared over, has gradually diminished from a 1-year doubling time to 18 months, and then
2 years... Recently, I bought a new external hard drive and noticed in my purchase history that I had bought
a 2TB external hard drive in 2019 at $59.99. More than 5 years later, as we are now, 2TB remains a common
option for an external hard drive, and with the same price, one can, unlike in the era when Moore's law was
at its full power, hardly buy anything better. Moore's law in the area of external hard drives seems
practically over. [Added Notes (in reply to a comment): Sorry for not being clear about
the difference between Moore's law and other technological trends that are sometimes called "Moore's law of ..."
or, as Wikipedia put it, "strongly linked to Moore's law". I always try to limit each topic to a thread of no
more than 2 posts (thus no more than 1,000 characters), and often end up cutting corners because of that. 😅]
