I am so tired of people, especially people who pretend to be computer experts online, completely failing to understand what Moore's Law is.

Moore's Law != "Technology improves over time"

It's an observation that semiconductor transistor density roughly doubles every ~2 years. That's it. It doesn't apply to anything else.

And also for the record, Moore's Law has been dead for a long time now. Getting large transistor density improvements is hard.

I'm gonna go on "no stupid question" and ask why my old hard drives aren't doubling in size.
