Page’s Law
May 31, 2009
Short honk: one for the Murphy’s Law crowd. I was not at the Google shindig this week, but my son was. I learned about Page’s Law from him. I poked around and found a reference on Gawker.com. Navigate here to read the law and view the video of the explanation. Here’s the synopsis of the idea from Gawker:
It says software gets twice as slow every 18 months.
The consequence is that a computing device gets slower. Believe it or not.
