The following text is an excerpt directly transcribed from Wikipedia:
Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years. Moore's law is an observation and projection of a historical trend. Rather than a law of physics, it is an empirical relationship linked to gains from experience in production.
Moore's Law(Q178655) presented an explicit connection between the physical size of computing devices can have direct impact in economics and society. It established a global consensus-based valuation mechanism to assert the physical spatial and temporal size of one bit. It is such a penetrating principle, according to Moore[1]: "One may think of Moore's Law being the violation of Murphy's Law." The term:Moore's Law is likely coin phrased by Carver Mead[2].
The Trans-disciplinary Nature of of Moore's Law
Moore's Law[3] is likely to be the first law that directly relates experimental data to industrial values of spacetime across all scales. Although, it has been challenged that the semi-conductor industry will not be able to continue deliver the doubling of transistor density indefinitely, but the basic notion of mapping the ability to massively coordinate devices at smaller physical scales has direct societal and economical implications is still valid. In that sense, this is the most powerful insight of Moore's Law, being able to succinctly demonstrate the causal relations between physical meaning of data processing, its implication to economic activities, and its influence in the workflow of knowledge creation. Moore's Law is one of the few instances of modern civilization that the founder of this vision that explicitly linked and implemented the theory in practice at this trans-disciplinary scale.
