ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Gordon Moore

Okay kiddo, so Gordon Moore is a really smart man who came up with a big idea about technology. He noticed that over time, electronic devices were being made smaller and faster than ever before. He predicted that this trend would continue, and that every two years the amount of technology that fits on a microchip would double in capacity and get cheaper to make.

This idea became known as "Moore's Law". It means that technology will get better and better, and we'll be able to do more and more with it as time goes on. It's like how you can fit more and more toys in your toy box as you learn to organize them better.

Lots of people think Moore's Law is really important because it's helped make all kinds of things possible, like smartphones, smart homes, self-driving cars and even space exploration. So, Gordon Moore is a pretty special guy because he helped make all those things happen!
