The document discusses the history and progression of various technologies such as cameras, cell phones, storage devices, transistors, and computers over time. It notes key developments like the first mobile phone in 1973, Moore's prediction in 1965 about transistors doubling every two years (Moore's Law), and the increasing number of transistors that can be placed on integrated circuits. The document also explores what drives this continued rapid advancement, with quotes suggesting it is fueled by economic factors and human belief that progress can be sustained.

33. What drives all this? In 2005 Moore said, "Moore's law is really about economics." In the same session Carver Mead made it clearer yet: Moore's Law, he says, "is really about people's belief system, it's not a law of physics, it's about human belief, and when people believe in something, they'll put energy behind it to make it come to pass.

34. For how much long? Moore in 2005 predicted at least a decade In 2009, Intel CEO Craig Barrett said "We can scale it down another 10 to 15 years. Nothing touches the economics of it." Estimates range from another 5 yrs to forever Pushing against limits of Physics and Chemistry at atomic level

37. 1969 Kitchen Computer Kitchen Computer 1969, Neiman Marcus, United States The Kitchen Computer was featured in the 1969 Neiman Marcus catalog as a $10,600 tool for housewives to store and retrieve recipes. Unfortunately, the user interface was only binary lights and switches. There is no evidence that any Kitchen Computer was ever sold. Inside was a standard Honeywell 316 minicomputer, billed as the first 16-bit machine at that price from a major computer manufacturer. Memory Type : Core Speed : 0.6 MHz Memory Size:16K Cost : $10,600 Memory Width : (16-bit)
