    Speed

    We've seen some amazing changes in electronic technology over the years and it's not slowing down. I've wondered how long it will be until optical memory is commonplace. The benefits for computers is straightforward. I can only imagine the potential for shutter speeds.

    Technically no as Moore's Law specifically deals with the doubling of the number of transistors in an integrated circuit every two years. Photonic elements are not traditional electronic components and very much lie outside of what Dr Moore wrote about.
