a.) Finance and budgeting - how often will companies need to replace their systems(ie. CPU's) in order to maintain equal processing capacity if their business workloads are increasing 100% each year? Will standard 4 year refresh cycles for PC's get longer or shorter? Show your math and logic.
b.) Systems Development/SW Engineering - Does it really matter if the programs are written efficiently, if the speed of the CPU will 2X every year?
c.) Facilities & Space requirements - Why are the size of the computers (or phones) not decreasing proportional to the decreasing density of the CPU's? Same question for size of data centers housing the servers with CPU's that each year become "smaller, faster, cheaper?"
d.) Types of applications now available - Give some examples of new application categories that have arrived in past 10 years as a result of Moore's Law.
