Moores Law Paper

In 1965 a man named Gordon Moore co founder of intel made an observation that the number of transisters per square inch on an integrated circute (microchip) had doubled every year sense it was invented. It has slowed down a little bit to about every 18 months. It has been like this for 40 years.

There was a camera in the 70s that was called a kodak 110. It had a little square flash bulb that had to be replaced often. After taking the pictures you would remove the 110 cartridge and drop it off at the drug sore. You would go pick up your photos 7 days later. The next camera they came out with was the poloride instant camera. Poloride cameras can be classified by the film they use. Film has changed in size, shape, form, and style so much over the years. Before these there where big cameras that were exspensive and hard to move. Wealthy people were usually the people that could use them because they were not cheap. Now cameras are easy to use. You look through the hole and push a botton. They are also very portible. You can take them with you were ever you need to go. They even have water proof cameras to go swimming with. They are still pretty exspensive but you can keep them and take them with you every were. I think phortography has changed in a lot of good ways over time.

This affects people like me. If it was all still the same I probably would not have pictures and couldnt remember all the memories my pictures hold. Im glad I have a camera that I can take with me were I go and can keep all the pictures to remember things by.
