How Pixar Used Moore's Law to Predict the Future

Things learned:

1. Moore’s formulation was that the density of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles every 18 months.
2. The Moore Law was used to anticipate the future and make good business decisions through the long years and waited for the computer animations envisioned to become reality.
3. "Everything good about computers gets an order of magnitude better every five years,"

Opinions:

1. What?  So they used this method to say that technology was going to get better so they were able to see that the movies and the tech used to make the movies would get better?
2. This confused me....my brain hurt.

Questions:

So how much will the technology of animation change in the next ten years?
