| Abstract: | Few inventions have changed the world as profoundly as - and rapidly - as the microprocessor. The first brain chip was born just 25 years ago. Intel Corp. announced its arrival in November,1971, trade-magazine ad that heralded a new era in integrated electronics. But even Intel didn't anticipate the scope of the revolution it was unleashing on business and society. Today, the world's chip population has swallen to 350 billion, including 15 billion microprocessors. That's more than two silicon brains for every person on earth. |
