"Parkinson's Law" is also used to refer to a derivative of the original relating to computers: "Data expands to fill the space available for storage"; buying more memory encourages the use of more memory-intensive techniques. It has been observed over the last 10 years that the memory usage of evolving systems tends to double roughly once every 18 months. Fortunately, memory density available for a constant price also tends to double about once every twelve months (see Moore's Law); unfortunately, the laws of physics guarantee that the latter cannot continue indefinitely. "Parkinson's Law" could be more generalized still as: "The demand upon a resource always expands to match the supply of the resource." An extension is often added to this, stating that "the reverse is not true." Brian Tracy put forth an interpretation of this in his course The 21 Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires, noting that "expenses rise to meet income", as a corollary of the law. It is interesting to note that this generalization has become very similar to the economic law of cost and demand; that the lower the cost of a service or commodity, the greater the demand.
