Moore's law is a specific example of a manufacturing learning curve, which can be described here: http://www.strategosinc.com/articles/strategy/learning_curve....

This is generally what people mean when they talk about "economies of scale": The more of a thing you make, the faster and cheaper you can make it. Moore's law (indirectly) names the constants on this curve for a integrated electronics, which is a field where the exponential relationship is more pronounced and continues over many more orders of magnitude than in most disciplines.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

Just looking at learning curves per industry, do you think its possible to make educated guesses as to which would stand to benefit more from improvement?
