♪ ♪ the average family home, cory practices her violin, christian plays with his cars and mike and carol worry over the bills. >> we went in with pretty much the same technology thats been in place for a couple of decades. typewriter. calculators. tv. oven. a car. you listen to music on a big old stereo system with a turntable. maybe you had a digital watch and that was the only thing that was going to be digital that you actually owned. >> hello? im not here now but my faithful ...

Moores law, named for gordon moore, one of the engineers who worked at intel. basically it was an observation computer engineers are getting to the point where they can essentially double the computer power of computer chips every 18 months or so. and this was what really made the power of computers explode in the 1980s, because every 18 months, these things were getting twice as good. >> you could basically put a whole computer on a chip, it was less expensive to manufacture. so you had smaller...

>> are you kidding? >> as material sciences progress, more and more circuitry keeps getting put on smaller and smaller chips, circuit boards. so the closer together elements on a chip are, the faster the motion of signals between them. >> there was something called moores law, named for gordon moore, one of the engineers who worked at intel. basically an observation computer engineers are getting to the point where they can essentially double the computing power of a computer chip every 18 month...
