    Study Notes

    Digital Economy

    • Digital evolution has rapidly progressed from punched tapes to magnetic tapes, floppy disks, compact disks, hard drives, USB drives, and cloud storage.
    • Three key concepts driving the digital economy are: storage, processing speed, and bandwidth.
    • Key technological drivers are closely associated with Moore's, Metcalfe's, and Gilder's Laws.

    Moore's Law

    • Moore's Law suggests that processor speed (and overall computing power) doubles approximately every two years.

    Metcalfe's Law

    • Metcalfe's Law postulates that the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of users.

    Gilder's Law

    • Gilder's Law states that bandwidth increases at least three times faster than computer power. This means communications power doubles roughly every six months, unlike computer power doubling every 18 months (as per Moore's Law),

    Nielsen's Law

    • Nielsen's Law asserts that connectivity and speed have a direct, linear relationship. Higher speed is not always more desirable. More speed with less connectivity is less valuable.
