The integrated circuit was developed by Texas Instruments engineer Kilby in September 1958. At the beginning of product release, no one could see the potential of integrated circuits, but now everyone has a smart phone, Will use the chip, also extends to the application of the Internet of things.
Wei Zhejia pointed out that the core of technology products is semiconductors. There has been tremendous progress in the past 60 years. Everything that was previously unimaginable has happened now. When he was studying, 10MB of memory would cost 10,000 US dollars, unlike today's GB. Take-off, if the number and price of the automotive industry develops like a semiconductor, now the car may cost as little as 5 cents.
Everyone now has a smart phone on their hands, and some people have more than just a smart phone. They also have a tablet and other products. These mobile devices are indispensable to semiconductor technology. Wei Zhejia also laughed and said that if someone does not have a smart phone on his hands, he will Very happy, because this represents a great deal of room for development in the semiconductor industry.
Wei Zhejia believes that from the computer to the mobile phone, the future will enter the Internet of Things era, and semiconductors are indispensable products. Therefore, semiconductors will change from the past 'everything' to the future 'everything'. potential no limited. Industries, continue to drive the development of other industries in the next 60 years, change human life.
