Reading Notes - Week 2

Computer Hardware

This article gave an overview of
computer hardware. It delivered information about the motherboard, power supply, removable media devices, video and sound, storage, and input. Some of the information was extremely basic.

Moore's Law

Moore's Law states that the number of transistors that can be placed on a chip will double every two years (the time span was later altered to every eighteen months). This greatly increases the speed and memory capabilities of electronic devices. The trend eventually plateaus. The required video compares the growth of electronic devices to that of the auto industry as an example of Moore's Law.
