1998: First computers with 2 and then 3 bits of memory. 2000: Computers with 5 and 7 bits of memory. 2006: 12 bits of memory 2011: 14 bits 2017: 17 bits There is too little data to suggest anything else than a linear fit. But then again, the early stages of exponential, or logarithmic, growth can look linear. We should wait 10-20 years to get more data.
