Way above my napper some of this watch stuff!
But I have kept up mostly with tech stuff through the years, even at one point being able to fix some of it.
Still love a good camera, decent laptop etc.
As an aside, I wonder how many have heard of " Moore's Law"? This is what's behind it all.
Moore's Law was an observation from a bloke called Gordon Moore, made in the sixties. Moore was an engineer and all round clever guy. I think he had a bit to do with Intel or IBM in the early says.
His "Law" suggested that every eighteen months or so, the amount of transistors that could be incorporated into a silicon chip would double.
It doesn't sound much, but he was widely ridiculed for such an outrageous prediction, as the mathematicians quickly realised the implications of it. It would be impossible to achieve.
But Moore was right. In those days of the swinging sixties, a transistor radio hanging on the arm of some mini skirted lovely might, if it was a good one, have up to fifteen transistors in it. Most had less than ten.
The phone in my hand has at least one billion!
Gordon Moore lived until he was 95, dying a couple of years ago. He saw full vindication of his observation, though it has now slowed down quite a bit. Even silicon has its limits.
