Technology-Enhanced Assessment of Talent

Foreword

Who would have thought that one of the most important “laws” affecting personnel assessment would be Moore's Law? About forty-five years ago, Gordon Moore, a co-founder of Intel, described his expectation that the cost of computer chips would be cut in half about every two years for the foreseeable future. This proposition, often described as Moore's Law, turned out to be largely true, cutting the cost of computing and related processes by half every two years since then. These drops in cost have made computing power cheap and easily available in many devices such as personal computers, laptops, and cell phones.

Together with other advances in technology, such as fiber optics and space satellites, a vast array of devices are now available ...
