Tobias Buckell university forum: Learn how to learn, Bluffton students urged

Living in a time of rapidly increasing change can be intimidating, Tobias Buckell admits.
Moore's Law holds--still accurately, Buckell says--that the speed of computing chips doubles every 18 months, while storage capacity for hard drives doubles every 12 months, according to Kryder's Law.
An iPhone, he notes, has more computing power than NASA did when it sent men to the moon, and an Xbox has the same power as a military-level supercomputer did when he was a college student at Bluffton in the late 1990s.
