Moore’s Law
• Chip performance per dollar doubles every
  eighteen to twenty-four months.
• Chips = Processors
 • Execute instructions of a program
 • Determines computer speed
Why Does Moore’s Law
Matter?
              • Processors in 18-24
                months will be twice
                as fast as existing
                models, but cost the
                same.
              • Current processors
                would then be half
                their current price.
The Limits of Moore’s Law

• Photolithography (the patterning and etching of chips
  using light)

• Rising Costs

• Temperature control

• Our ability to manufacture smaller components
Overcoming the Limits with
Nanotechnology
• Carbon Nanotubes- Aiding in
  heat dissipation and structural
  design



• Nanowires- helping to increase
  the maximum number of
  transistors on silicon chips
Overcoming the Limits with
Nanotechnology

• Thermoplastic Nanoimprint
  Lithography- The current
  standard



• 3D Lithography- The latest
  breakthrough in chip
  manufacturing
Faster Processors
Advances in Flash Storage
• Allows for devices to be more compact

• No moving Parts

• Technology that is used in tablets (Ipad, Macbook Air, etc)

• Allows for more portable and lightweight products
Augmented Reality
• The practice of enhancing what is already around
  us
Augmented Reality
  • Changing the way we view the world

  • Turns any surface into an interactive
    screen

  • Technology and reality meet and interact

Editor's Notes

  • #4 Have to balance need for speed with cost-effectiveness. Early Adopter = higher costsLate Adopter = lower costs, lost opportunityIncorporating into Products:- First mover- Fast Follower
  • #8 Faster processors make augmented reality possible. Gives devices the speed and power to project these things. Also, SIRI and the Ipad use these processors. Makes it possible to run everything at high speed. Future processor will be smaller yet more powerful and faster. Soon to be in all top of the line devices.
  • #10 Star off asking the class. How many have heard of augmented reality? How many have experienced augmented reality? Tell them they all have either seen or heard of augmented reality.
  • #11 Tell definition. Then explain two examples. How people watching a football game on t.v. sees a yellow line but its not really on the field. Once again how it enhances our view on a ipod.
