Old Graph
The graph ends at 2001. I'd like to see a newer version with figures projected through 2020, with mention of the plateau in moore'e law (2 predicted curves). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.225.92 (talk) 15:36, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Moore's Law?
This diagram references Moore's Law, and yet doesn't actually deal with it, but rather its consequences (i.e. it does not use transistor density as a measure). That seems a bit confusing. Is there, perhaps, a better graph of Moore's Law that could be used? -Miskaton (talk) 18:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

U.S. Dollars
Why use US dollars?

As far as we know, the monetary value of the dollar has being seriously reduced since the departure of the gold standard since 1974. The scales of the graph my not be reliable over time.

Why not use long-time or historical currency, such as the amount of gold and silver?

Error in vertical axis?
Machines making several operations per second were afordable for any small bussiness before the 20th century. This is contradiction with the graph. Are the vertical axis units actually Million calculations per second per 1000$? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.224.92.203 (talk) 14:46, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Error in vertical axis
...or the data points are just made up. For example the far left point. 10^{-5} calculations/second/1000$. I can't think of any machine that could have that parameter. To replace a human for simple computing with such a machine it would have cost about a few million dollars (back in 1900) if we rely on that parameter. I think this graph is just wrong and should be replaced with a graph with reliable data and references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.225.125.253 (talk) 22:15, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
