It's fascinating that it has held up and perhaps demonstrates that there may be some pattern to the pace of human innovation. It will be interesting to see what happens next. @Alex Moore’s Law is an interesting phenomenon, but in a sense it is not so much a law as an observation… there’s no real “law” – as in a law of physics – as its governing principle.

It's been predicted that in a few years home computers might be little more than a screen and a keyboard...

It has held up since 1965 and is apparently predicted to last a few more years. It will be really interesting to see if innovation manages to overcome this 'theoretical limit', which has been speculated upon for a while...
