June 13, 2023

While “channel surfing” was a common theme for many years among cable TV subscribers, nobody who’s switched to streaming services talks about it anymore.

Moore’s prediction has turned out to be surprisingly accurate and has enabled the industry to forecast the ability of semiconductor chips to get smaller and more powerful.
