MESLER'S LAW

Mesler's law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware. It is an addendum to Moore’s law which states that “The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years.[1] This trend has continued for more than half a century and is expected to continue until 2015 or 2020 or later.[2]” Mesler’s law states that a parallel condition occurs: at approximately 24 months in age, your technology is made fun of, most likely by someone who wasn’t alive during the Clinton Presidency. This trend has always been and will always be true; it is a constant.''

''“The capabilities of many digital electronic devices are strongly linked to Moore's law: processing speed, memory capacity, sensors and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras.[3] All of these are improving at (roughly) exponential rates as well (see Other formulations and similar laws). This exponential improvement has dramatically enhanced the impact of digital electronics in nearly every segment of the world economy.[4] Moore's law describes a driving force of technological and social change in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.[5][6]”'' sd

However, it is Mesler’s law that truly is the driving force behind the aforementioned. Mesler would still be using his original iPhone if not for a snot-nosed 22 year old commenting incredulously how “old school” it was.

Mesler’s law is named after Steven Mesler, a vane, graying, expanding, hairy middle aged megalomaniac. He expounded upon it on twitter once in late 2010, the exact date of which is not known because his memory is beginning to get a little too fuzzy and he’s too lazy to scroll through his library of tweets.
