“The repeal of Moore’s Law would create a renaissance for software development. Only then will we finally be able to create software that will run on a stable and enduring platform. In schools, the life span of a desk is 25 years, a textbook is 10 years, and a computer is three years, tops. Which of these devices costs the most to buy and operate? Why, the PC, of course. Which has residual value when its useful life is over? Not the PC—it costs money to dispose of. At least books can be burned for heat. Until technology slows down enough for computing platforms to last long enough to be economically viable, they won’t be truly intrinsic to education. So the end of Moore’s Law, while it may look bad, would actually be very good.”
