A Successful Prediction - Moore's Law - Part 2

In looking at a successful prediction, Moore's law is investigated. Moore's law states that every 2 years the number of transistors on a computer chip will double. Here is a great graph that shows the trend over the last 30 years taken fromWikipedia. There is a common misperception that Moore said 18 months vs 24 months - the graph shows how the data supports the 24 months.
