Perhaps Moore's law is a consequence of people's ability to design algorithms. Hardware design needs similar resources and concepts: circuit routing, simulations, benchmarking, design re-use, code bases ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_description_language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_description_language )...
