→Examples of Correlating Data
When Moore in 1965 observed that the number of components on integrated circuits seemed to double regularly, this fact was known to many people working in the area. Indeed, it took over a decade, during which Moore had become the co-founder of Intel and its President and CEO, before this observation was called Moore's Law. <ref>http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue7_11/tuomi/</ref>
