Answer:

Moore's Law

Step-by-step explanation:

Moore's Law was made in 1965 by Gordon Moore. While working at Fairchild Semiconductor, Moore observed the number of transistors doubling every year and plotted it on a log 2 graph. This graph was almost linear, increasing by 1 every year. Hence, Moore concluded that the number of transistors increased by 2^1 times every year or in simpler terms, doubled every year.
