Answer:

Moore's law.

Step-by-step explanation:

Description

Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles every two years, though the cost of computers is halved.

It also states that we can expect the speed and capability of our computers to increase every couple of years, and we will pay less for them.

Example A computer chip that contained 2,000 transistors and cost $1,000 in 1970, $500 in 1972, $250 in 1974, and $0.97 in 1990 costs less than $0.02 to manufacture today
