The
world is an ever-evolving sphere sustaining all organic life. Now putting the
word “Digital” in front and it becomes a whole new meaning. Starting from the
Abacus dating back to the 2nd Century BC, all machines no matter how small or
large contributed to the ease of life of a human being. Fast forward to 2019,
the “Digital World” is the absolute epitome of all human creation merging to
create a single paragon. Just like the physical world, the digital world too is
a growing concept, progressing every second towards simplicity itself. The
first commercially available microprocessor, Intel 4004’s main application was
for Busicom calculation and arithmetic manipulation (6). Now the flagship 9th generation Intel i7-9700k can handle
multithreaded workload boosting to a frequency of 5.1Ghz with it is embedded 8
cores (7). With time, all hardware
reaches obsoletion but a new one emerges to take the throne, completing what
the predecessor could do both faster and easier and guaranteeing simpler
solution. This is the function of hardware in Digital World, to evolve to a new
generation and support the foundation on what it was created for.
