More and Faster Beetles

Moore’s Law states the computing power doubles every 18 months. I came across an example that shows what that really means in practice. In a book by Andrew Yang, founder of Venture for America and democratic candidate for president, he says that if Moore’s Law were applied to a 1971 VW Beetle, by 2015 it would go 300,000 miles per hour and get two million miles per gallon of gas.
