NT1110 U6 Analysis 1 Memory Cost
The cost of one bit of RAM and one bit of hard drive storage over the years will have to based on what size of the bit of ram and on bit of hard drive storage that are you using or trying to buy. But if you were trying to figure out the price range of one bit of ram the prices may range from $20.00 to over $100.00. However One bit of hard drive storage prices may range $100.00 to over $300.00 depends on where buy them from.

I think 100 TB hard drive will become commercially available probably 10-15 years from now. It will be an enormous capacity for a hard drive but will be necessary for streaming media. I think network connections will improve fast rate because capacity of the 100 TB hard drives. Also with the hard drive you will be able to you will be combine HDTV PVR's, MP3 players, DVD archives, and pictures into a giant media database. Transferring that much data from one machine to another may prove to be the hardest part of all when dealing with the device.

The RAM that you be able to purchase for $100.00 in the next ten years I imagine would be 8 tb or more because drives are becoming even more bigger. Like for instance today you can buy a 250GB for under $60 dollars. So I’m guessing it would be more cheaper from the information I gather that the hard drive will be inexpensive to buy but depending on what size do you get.

"the number of components in integrated circuits had doubled every year from the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958 until 1965 and predicted that the trend would continue "for at least ten years"".

and

"the 2010 update to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors has growth slowing at the end of 2013, after which time transistor counts and densities are to double only every 3 years."

In other words, you get approximately double the power, every three years, for the same price.

So if you can buy 4GB of RAM for 100$ today, 10 years from now you'd get approximately ((4*2)*2)*2=32GB of RAM for the same

    Memory Cost Back in 1981 an 18 MB hard drive would have cost around $2500. Today a 1 TB hard drive will cost around $150. In 1990 RAM costs were $50 per MB. Today, you can buy 2 GB of RAM for $50. Broken down this means that in 1981, 18 MB (18874368 bytes) would work out to around 75 cents per byte or around 9…

    Powerful central processing units (CPUs) demand large amounts of data, and they need that data fast. Otherwise, CPU performance is hindered by the lack of data storage support; therefore, computers have been designed to supply data through tiering memory and caches, which use the hard drive in combination with random access memory (RAM) to deliver massive amounts of data to the CPU. The speed of the RAM is crucial to the performance of data delivery; you want the most RAM at the fastest speed possible so the CPU is not waiting for information.…

    From 1971 to 2012 the Intel processor transistor count has increased extremely throughout the years developing processor that meets modern pc needs. The growth in the number of transistors used in integrated circuits over the years is reasonable because, of Moore’s Law which predicted that every one year and a half to two years the capacity of the processors would double and, as we can see it is true. The growth on the transistors look surprisingly fast but at the same it is common because technology is used more than ever and to meet the needs of today’s society so reflecting on it is appropriate to say that it is growing at a normal rate. If I had to figure out when 100 billion transistors would fit on one single chip and using the of Moore’s law I would predict that it be around from 2018 to 2020.…

    In electronics, Moore’s Law says that the number of transistors in a fixed area doubles approximately every two years. At the time this article is being written, microprocessors are being made with feature size as small as 14nm which is typically order of 10 atomic radii. It is pretty obvious and alarming for OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) as Samsung, Intel etc. that Moore’s Law is going to break down soon. However depending on the production cycle in the semiconductor industry any such saturating effect would take quite a few years and by that time some new grade of devices (concept phones such as Nokia Morph) will enter the market.…

    The idea of the integrated circuit was conceived by a radar scientist working for the Royal Radar Establishment of the British Ministry of Defence, Geoffrey W.A. Dummer (1909–2002). Dummer presented the idea to the public at the Symposium on Progress in Quality Electronic Components in Washington, D.C. on 7 May 1952.[7] He gave many symposia publicly to propagate his ideas, and unsuccessfully attempted to build such a circuit in 1956.…
