Internet and Moore’s Law
January 17, 2009
Physorg.com here published “Internet Growth Follows Moore’s Law Too”.The article points out that information, according to Chinese researchers, “has discovered that Moore’s Law can also describe the growth of the Internet. The key point in the write up for me was that “the Internet will double is size every 5.32 years.” I find a number like this interesting, but it does not match the data that my team has been gathering over the last few years. We focus on the enterprise, and our data suggest that digital information in an organization doubles every six to nine months. If these data are accurate, then the Internet is not growing as rapidly as digital information in organizations. Anyone have any other data? The Chinese estimate seems on the low side.
