In a 2011 article for the scholarly journal Science, researchers Martin Hilbert and Priscila Lopez estimated that the entire processing power of the world's stock of general-purpose computers in 2007 more or less equaled that of one human brain (about 6.4 quintillion instructions per second -- the standard measure of computer speed).
When computer memory and processor speed goes up the BLS assumes that the price of the computer goes down because you are getting a better machine even if that computer is still used for browsing on the internet and the machine that it replaced was perfectly fine for the job.

Third-generation wireless (the first two were analog and the current version of digital) can move data at 384 kilobits a second, six times the speed of a good computer modem.
Tim Critchley, one of the founders of Pogo Technology, said this system meant data flies around at the equivalent of 50kbps - almost the same speed as the fastest computer modems.
As an example of this collaboration, the City of Seattle has proposed implementation of the Great Student Initiative, an effort to form new partnerships with information, communication and technology companies including Microsoft, Comcast, One Economy and lenders to provide low-cost, high-speed Internet access, computer, software and services for low-income students in the Seattle Public Schools.
On the other hand, the law's significance is likely to diminish, as computer-buyers demand more than just speed from their machines and chip designers tailor their wares accordingly.
