Moore’s Law (general form)
The amount of a computing resource (memory, processor power, network bandwidth, etc) you can buy with an inflation-adjusted dollar doubles every two years.
Wirth’s Law
Software gets slower, faster than hardware gets faster.
Clarke’s Three Laws of Prediction
- When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
