but what did gordon moore think about moore's law? david, thank you for joining us.k about big picture, where we still talking about gordon moore, and how big of an impact has he had in the world technology? david: great questions. gordon moore is a physical chemist, cofounder of two of the most important companies -- fairchild semiconductor and a spinoff off from that, the intel corporation. a company he cofounded. and for which he was today the longest serving ceo. certainly, it's chief technological strategists. we are still talking about gordon moore not only for intel, but for the importance of the silica and microchip in our whole digital world. it's the material foundation for the digital world. and it is responsible for an incredible profusion of electronics. they have made electronics incredibly cheap. from the development of the first silica and microchips to the present, the cost of microchips, the cost of electronics and therefore the cost of computing has dropped 1,000,000,004. with that, the entire society has been suffused with electronics and computin

we are still talking about gordon moore and moore's law not only for intel, but for the importance of microchip in our whole digital world. it is the material foundation for the digital world and it is responsible for an incredible profusion of electronics because they have made electronics incredibly cheap. from the development of the first silicon microchip to the present, cost of microchips, the cost of electronics and therefore the cost of computing has dropped a billion fold. with that, our entire society has been suffused with electronics and computing. emily: gordon moore was a local guy and i understand he now lives in hawaii. i'm sure he lives quite comfortably. tell us about his background. david: he was born here in san francisco, but his family lived in atascadero. a coastal town the in then-san mateo county. with the exception of probably in the number of years you can count on the fingers of both hands, his life was spent there. within 60 miles. his story is the story of a person who changed the world largely by staying at home. emily: i know he is quite active in philan

emily: gordon moore was a local guy and i understand he now lives in hawaii.he lives quite comfortably. tell us about his background. david: he was born here in san francisco, but his family lived in a casket arrow -- in at ascadero. probably in the number of years you can count on the fingers of both hands, his life was spent there. his story is the story of a person who changed the world largely by staying at home. emily: i know he is quite active in philanthropy still. does he worry that moore's law could be undermined or disproven someday? david: he does have a concern that he sees fundamental limits coming up to our ability to shrink transistors ever smaller and put more of them onto chips. at the same time, reducing the cost of electronics. there are a couple of fundamentals -- the size of an adam and the speed of light. these are physics areas in the way. he is concerned that within this decade it may end, but he does say he hopes he's wrong and he is quick to point out that it many times in the past, he and his colleagues have only been able to see 10

eye got interview gordon moore, he all know moore's law about the exponential rise of the processing power of a microprocessor, and i talked to gordon moore a lot about what was it like to work with bob noyce. i certainly got to know andy grove, who is still with us and was the man of the year at "time." i got to surround and figure out about these people itch wish i'd been able to interview ada lovelace and certainly even in allen touring. i wanted to make him famous because amongst people who know computers he is very famous. people who don't aren't sure who he is but just as my book was coming out, benedict culpber beach played him and i thought, okay the ground -- cumberbatch will make him famous. that movie is very true to life but like any good movie or great movie it takes some literary license. there are things in the movie that didn't happen. most notely -- a russian soviet spy is not actually working in hut eight with allen touring. that's a little bit of a literary license. but what is true about the movie and that is so important, is some key facts, one of which is that h

. >> reporter: 50 years ago intel co-founder gordon moore published an article essentially saying that computing power would double about every two years while getting less expensive. he's still right to this day. >> when you get to millennials and post-millennials they have spent their entire lives governed by the pace of moore's law. they don't know it but they've internalized this incredible rate of constant change. >> reporter: if you've ever been picked up in an uber or checked your facebook status that's moore's law in action. early computing has leapt forward with new innovation giving us what we have today. >> it's inspiring. you wonder, wow, what's next? how can i contribute to this huge creative body of work? >> reporter: in silicon valley famous for looking ahead thanks to a famous law half a century ago. >> that was scott budman reporting. perhaps the most quoted way to explain moore's law goes if the auto industrial followed moore's law, modern cars would go 500 miles per hour and they would cost $1.50 each. >>> coming up next lawyers for san francisco's sheriff will be in

book for the last six or seven years off and an finishing the steve jobs' book i would go see gordon moore or mark anderson or the creator of the world wide web. and jim surf a wonderful guy who with bob con writes the internet protocols. how do you take the packets and networks and make an internet out of it in ort words. i got a chance to be up close with the people and to me what i hoped to bring into the party is doing a little reporting and being able to find these people and have them talk to me because there are a lot of people who will be able to do better analysis than i do. but i am going to get surf to sit and talk over dinner and tell me why the tcip protocols were written the way they were. i think i did a lot of interviews for the book. >> host: if you were covering the auto industry, would this have been like talking to walter chrysler and the dodge brothers and etc? >> guest: yes, these are the people that invent thing. the people early on in the internet are no longer with is. even robert noise -- if there is someone i wish i could talk to. he is the coinventor of the micr

erik: is moore's law hitting a dead end? gordonredicted that the power of a chip would double every year. even think moore's law for the technology that powers your iphone and your car. today there are 1.4 billion transistors on intel's chip. the next processor will have even more. physics may be standing in the way. steve, i have lived moore's law. when i started covering technology in 1998, the state of the art was 250 nanometers and now we are down to 22 nanometers go to 14. right now you can fit for thousand of these things into human hair. steve: i found an amazing moore's law prop in your green room. who started 50 years ago the eraser at the end of the pencil was about the size of a transistor. now if i make a dot on the piece of paper, it can contain 6 million. erik: there are people who say moore's law is running out of gas and will hit a dead end. steve: i've been in the business for 30 years and i've been hearing that for about 20 of those years. we see the same visibility. we can see about 10 years down the road. for th

moore in part to reflect the civil rights leaders actions to yell the violence of those riots. in the news room, bruce gordon news". >>> interesting perspective there, historically. that said, mayor nutter who you just saw, will be on good day philadelphia later this morning. we will talk to him about his perspective what's going on in baltimore about the conference happening today right here in philadelphia. >> that conference the city's united conference, was started by mayor nutter back in 2011 with the mayor of new orleans, national partnership to eliminate violence related death of african-american men. so very timely. >> absolutely we'll keep an eye what's going on in baltimore meantime, coming up new slogan on some bud light bottles is backfiring, and badly. >> yes what's some people are accusing the brand of promoting with their new label. >> bud light is having to back pedal, being blasted over new slogan. some say the wording uncomfortably invokes alcohol invoked rape culture. >> the label reads the perfect beer for removing no from your vocabulary for the night. seriously? >> right. >> american br
