Computers have significantly shrunk in size as the years have passed. Consider the fact that a mere fifty years ago a single computer could take up multiple rooms and now people regularly take their computers on airplanes. While Moore’s law predicted the phenomenal rise in computing power, it did not transparently predict the shrinking of computers during the same time. Even ten years ago, laptop computers were considered to be niche machines. Today they outsell desktops in the United States and are set to overtake them worldwide in the next few years. That is because there is little that a desktop computer can do that can’t also be managed by a laptop computer.
