Technology 2016
What new technologies are emerging? Will new software and hardware disrupt how cities are run in 2030?
Moore's Law, proposed in 1965, predicted that the number of transistors that could be embedded in an integrated circuit would double every two years. Since then, Moore's law has held overwhelmingly true -- with the effect that our devices have become smaller and more powerful year after year. Cellphones today are a thousand times more powerful than the first computer, ENIAC from 1946, which cost about $6M and occupied 1800 square feet. One can only imagine how technology will change by 2030.
