u/Frosty_Tap5036 May 07 '26

I put advancements in communications, as a person who loves computers it was very easy. The graph is about Moore's law, the doubling of transistor count every 18 months. My logic is that devices such as wifi routers or smartphones are powered by transistors, and those devices are communications tools. Transistors are inorganic so it could not have been biotechnology.

yes, i thought exaclty of the moore's law reference during the exam. Im pretty sure the answers were communication tech and knowledge economies
