Title: Father of Integrated Circuits turns 80 today
Post by: shIva on November 08, 2003, 04:30:14 PM

The man who invented the first IC turns 80 years old today ... without him we wouldn't even have a simple calculator.

Heard of an abacus before?
How about the difference engine?
Slide rule perhaps?

Kids these days.  You don't even know you're born.

wow!!! Two transistors in a Chip 2cm (square), it certainly puts the latest 50million transistor chips in 1 cm (square) into perspective!!! :-D
