In an article written in 1965, Gordon Moore said, `Thanks to advances in technology. The number of transistors on microchips has roughly doubled every year since the invention of the integrated circuit. This trend will continue". This later became known as `Moore`s Law`. Since Moore`s paper, computer chips have become more efficient and affordable.
