Document Summary
Number of computers connected to the internet (exponential growth occurring by 2. 28) Size of computer memory and other storage media. Moore"s law : amount of info a computer can store has been doubling every couple of years. More memory at the same price: ram, disk memory, usb. Software now has : bigger programs, with more capacity, complex user interfaces, and access to other comps on internet. Hardware now has: greater push to make comps bigger and greater incentive to connect comps. More memory means software can be bigger and do more. More computers on internet means more interest on software that connects to other computers: speed internet has been getting faster. Processing speeds are faster: clock cycles per second have been getting 10 times faster/8 years. Data transfer speeds are faster: reliability. Less line noise (noise on electronic cables that altered data) due to improved infrastructure. Internetz is always on and available: security.
