The funniest part is, that kid has no idea what moore's law is or where it comes from. I guarantee he heard that talking point from some "big tech" spokesman.
It's like all these "ai engineers" who believe "neural networks" are based on the neuro-science of the human brain. LAUGHABLE.
Actually, not true. He's the manager of an IT support team and knows full when the history behind the law. Younger, in his case, means mid-30s to late-30s. To me that's young. His point was that technology is expanding at a higher rate than double every two years.

I disagree. What metric is he using? Is he going based off the original "doubling of transistors on a chip" idea? Because if so, I would argue that is not happening, nor has it happened in quite some time. If not that metrics, than which? May I point out that the modern internet infrastructure literally hasn't changed in over 30 yeras? Adding encryption doesn't count. I'm talking about the actual Internet Protocols, the backbone. Given the internet is "THE" technological achievment of the 21st centrury, you'd think it would experience this "doubling" every two years, instead of stagnating for decades.
I'm going to ask him to clarify what he meant. I really did give him the brush-off.
