chess require the heart, soul and thinking of a human, or can thinking be
approximated by that of a computer? "As a human activity, chess is
believed to require 'thinking,' yet in 1997 a massively parallel
supercomputer, drawing on over four decades of continual advances in both
hardware and software , defeated the best human player in the world," Spicer
said.m.

This event will bring together the

thought-provoking discussion on the impact of "Moore's Law" on technology,
business, and society."

"I had no idea this was going to be an accurate prediction, but amazingly
enough instead of 10 [years] doubling, we got nine over the 10 years, but
still followed pretty well along the curve," said Moore in an interview
published by Intel to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Moore's Law.computerhistory. SEMI

such computing pioneers as Alan Turing and Claude Shannon, to the
development of PC chess software and the drama of IBM's chess-playing
supercomputer, Deep Blue.

Instead, Moore calls it a "lucky guess. All the participants
in the business recognize that if they don't move that fast they fall
behind technology, so essentially from being just a measure of what has
happened, it's become a driver of what is going to happen.

Since then, Moore's Law has been the technology
guidepost for the semiconductor equipment and materials industry,
stimulating suppliers to invest billions of dollars in research and
development to push the limits of CMOS silicon.

Moore is humble about the accuracy of his namesake law."

"The industry made it a self-fulfilling prophecy now, the industry road
maps are based on that continued rate of improvement. Using chess as an entree, visitors can explore
important software and other traditionally challenging topics to explain. The Museum is dedicated to exploring the
social impact of computing and is home to the world's largest collection of
computing-related items -- from hardware (mainframes, PCs, handhelds, key
integrated circuits), to software, to computer graphics systems, to
Internet and networking -- and contains many one-of-a-kind and rare objects
such as the Cray-1 supercomputer, the Apple I, the WWII ENIGMA, the
