I recently discovered/created a corollary to Moore’s Law of computing advances which says that there is an exponential increase in computing resources, basically doubling every two years.

I’m going to call my corollary the Law of Kipple:

The more capacity a hard drive has the more that it will be filled up.

I recently got a computer with about three times more hard drive capacity than I previously had and I quickly filled it up.  I downloaded some public domain Charlie Chaplin movies and some Buster Keaton.  And I had to have a copy of  “The Voyage to the Moon” by Georges Melies.  Soon my hard drive was almost full.

The same thing happened last time I expanded my capacity and I filled it up with mp3s.

Maybe the faster you make a processor, the more demands are placed on it for speed, like with video games?

I think I’m onto something here…
