Moore's Law

  Moore's law is about the computing hardware. It decribed a long term trend of its' history.   Integrated Circuits (IC) can hold the number of transistors, about every 12 months (Moore 1975, 12 months will be changed to 18 months) will be doubled, the performance will also be doubling, when the price of the same Time; or that every dollar can buy computer performance every 12 months to more than double.
    IT Industry First Law - Moore's Law, the tall "shadow" hanging over the semiconductor field, today it is to eliminate.
  37 years, it advocated the "faster, smaller, cheaper"philosophy, making the entire IT industry, risen to become another "Olympic" arena. Intel also rely on this to become dominant in the industry. However, today's "Moore's Law, " Intel is becoming "the first spell. " Intel is not only restricted, but also imprisoned the entire semiconductor industry.
  Now, with the South Korean semiconductor resurgence and the rise of China Semiconductor, the global semiconductor industry has changed, the cycle law will also be completely different. Expectations based on a good day for the old law, might not be happened.
  To be able to catch up with the pace of Moore's Law, the chip industry have to chip design, new materials and new technology have a major breakthrough. However, when chip makers in their brains to improve chip performance and reduce the heat of the time, also contributed to the design and production problems. Meyerson, chief technology officer, IBM said, we are in a major shift in the chip industry during the period, the traditional thinking is no longer applicable, we must rely on innovation.
  Now, not only competitors in the market as well as upstream and downstream speeds are no longer blindly follow the Moore's Law increase, even Intel's own, too quiet departure from the law of which it is respected. For example Centrino product, no longer to upgrade speeds as a selling point, but bundled with a wireless communication module, the combination of computing and communication technologies.
  Moore's law can't still keep the position of the past 40 years. it slowly stepped down.

Advantage and Disadvantage

For Blog:

  What I have learnt:
  As the first experience to make a blog by myself, it's really excited to me. Though I have no professional skills and websites for blogging, I just try my best to make it. First, I have known what is a blog and the basic methods. It is a good treasure in my study, because it is not so popular in China and really different. I read some excellent blogs in the Internet, though I can't reach the level, I improve myself step by step with so many perfect examples.

What I enjoyed most during the whole process:
  It is really a hard process for my blog, it seems like I am a pregnant woman, it's a joke. But I really don't want to start this assigment always, because I feel afraid of it. I really think I can't finish, I am lack of confidence. Finally, I am forced myself to face to the problem. I asked my classmates from apply an account of blog, I continue my work slowly, fortunately I finish it finally. It is really a good harvest in my study.

What can I improve in the future:
  If I start my work earlier, if I didn't waste the time because of my laziness, if I spent more time and work harder to learn how to make a good quality blog, maybe I can do it better. The most important point that I need improve is " working hard" and " confindence".

Disadvantage:
  Language will be a big problem, I can't analysis  the leacture topic exactly, maybe I can't understand as well as the other classmates. Also I am not good at writing , my writing skill is not professional. And because of the limitation of my skills in making blog, it seems monotonous. All of these disadvantages noticed me that I need learn more in the future.
