First Blog of Semester 1

Moore's Law is currently right about the speed of CPU's doubling every 18-24 months. Supposedly it has had a very long life because many of these types of "laws" don't normally last as long as this one.

Computers would be able to pass the Turing Test in the near future. Probably 2020 at the earliest. But computers, I think, will pass the test between the years 2020 and 2030.

I found it interesting how different the Microprocessors of today are so different from some of the first models and makes of them. It seems weird that they were set up so much differently then they are today and used such different parts back then compared to the parts we use today.
