some believe there are limits to this law however: "In terms of size [of transistor] you can see that we're approaching the size of atoms which is a fundamental barrier, but it'll be two or three generations before we get that far - but that's as far out as we've ever been able to see. We have another 10 to 20 years before we reach a fundamental limit" -Gordon Moore(source). others believe that rapid increase in technological capabilities will lead to a singularity. in this scenario it is suggested that "if machines could even slightly surpass human intellect, they could improve their own designs in ways unforeseen by their designers, and thus recursively augment themselves into far greater intelligences"(source). if technology keeps advancing exponentially and artificial intelligence improves then a technological singularity would be feasible.
in conclusion, Moore's Law states that about every two years the number of transistors that can fit onto a circuit doubles. this seems to mean that technology advances and will advance at an exponential rate. some feel that this type of technological progress is not infinitely sustainable, others feel that progress will continue until artificial intelligence is smarter than human intelligence and a kind of "technological explosion" will occur.(source)
