facilitate data storage on new and improvement mediums and levels of data storage from the past appear archaic and inefficient. When examining the development of technology a commonly quoted
theory is that of Moores Law. This was first proposed by Gordon Moore in 1965, but only became referred to as Moores Law after being called this by Caver mead
in the 1970s when referring to the 1965 article. The law says basically that the number of transistors per square inch of integrated circuits would double every two years in
the future, the article notes that it has doubled each year in the past and made the 2 year prediction (Gordon, 1965). However, it is worth noting that the time
line is often quoted as being 18 months and not two years (Jurvetson, 2004). There is some evidence for the law being generally correct with a degree of errors as
technology changes, however it may also be argued that nanotechnology may end up seeing the law expire while other believe that it will result in the law continuing. The
argument is that even with the use of nanotechnology the technology will hit a barrier where there is a physical limit on the number of transistors (Jurvetson, 2004). However, the
use of nanotechnology has extended the law from the boundaries that were first imagined. One of the abstraction of the law looks at this taking place on computer chips developed
in light at a constant cost (Forbes/Wolf, 2003). There is speciation that the law will eventually expire, but that it may take a few more decades for this to occur.
The law does not only deal with computer chips, but can be extended to the entire range of technology. This includes data storage. Looking at the progress since 1994
