The idea of habitus in general can be described (as Wikipedia vaguely puts it), “a behavioral manifestation of the essential nature of a thing or a person.” More closely related to architecture is the definition put forth by Guiles Deleuze, relating to his idea of the plane of immanence, or the way a being inhabits itself and its space, as a network of experience differing person to person.

Moore’s Law, specifically, states that transistor speed will double for the same price/size every 18 months. It is no mistake that new computer products are released almost as regularly as new cars. In about a year to two years, technology, like clockwork, will advance enough to make something two times more powerful for the same price. What excites me is to see new functions and gadgets come out, knowing full well that they are starting their journey up the Moore’s Law curve. Below are a few examples that will absolutely make a difference in your life.
