The Collapse of Parenting

Brooks: Our lives have been completely affected by an example of this. I think Gordon Moore's law, which, if you read the original paper, was based on five data points, one of which was null and four were just over a two-year period. He wrote this curve, he extrapolated it for ten years, and then the industry said, “Ah, that's what's going to happen,” and everyone worked that straight line for the next thirty or fourty years. It completely transformed their world. It was exactly an example of a prediction changing the outcome, because without that I don't think that Intel and all the other chipmakers would have known what to aim for. That told them what to aim for.
