Page’s Law: a counter to Moore’s Law

What the hell is Page’s Law? Guys at Google can make their own laws. This one makes sense though:

Put really simply, what this means in the real world is that the performance of a PC and other devices constantly increases. So why do PCs never really seem to get faster?

Well, call it Page’s Law. Page’s Law was actually coined by Sergey Brin, who dropped in at the tail end of a Google press conference, and was asked about the pace of software and Web development.

“Page’s Law is sort of the opposite of Moore’s Law,” Brin said. “Page’s Law says that every 18 months software becomes twice as slow.”

Yeah.

  1. Time will come when pc would be able to swiftly download and transfer file—in seconds…Hope so!!

  2. Is this really how page’s law, I also notice that when I upgrade my pc if becomes faster but eventually after sometime you will notice that will slow down again, is this also consider what page’s law means….

  3. “Page’s Law” seems destined to become a common companion term to “Moore’s Law,” a widely-used tech aphorism that says, roughly speaking, that computers double in speed every year or two.
