Moore's law is really about economics.

Moore's Law - The number of transistors and resistors on a chip doubles every 24 months

No physical quantity can continue to change exponentially forever. Your job is delaying forever.

With engineering, I view this year's failure as next year's opportunity to try it again. Failures are not something to be avoided. You want to have them happen as quickly as you can so you can make progress rapidly.

If you'd asked me in 1980 what the big impact of microprocessors would be, I probably would have missed the PC. If you asked me in 1990 what was important, I probably would have missed the Internet.

The technology at the leading edge changes so rapidly that you have to keep current after you get out of school. I think probably the most important thing is having good fundamentals.

If everything you try works, you aren't trying hard enough.
