Earlier this year I lamented the inevitable death of Moore’s Law - crushed between process node failures and exploits attacking execution efficiencies. Yet that top line failure of Moore’s Law hides the fact that chips in general are now cheap.

So cheap that the cost of making a device ‘smart’ - whether that means, aware, intelligent, connected, or something else altogether – is now trivial. We’re therefore quickly transitioning from the Death of Moore’s Law into the era of Moore’s Revenge - where pretty much every manufactured object has a chip in it.
