Description
Number of transistors per square inch on an integrated chip doubles every 18 months. In other words, the speed of computer chip increases in proportion to density of transistors. Hence the price/performance ratio of computers falls dramatically. This will lead to the fact that today the cost of data communications and data storage is essentially zero.
