Longer Version

—“The invention of the transistor-based logic engine, the integrated circuit, turned 60 this year. Today, humanity fabricates 1,000 times more transistors annually than the entire world grows grains of wheat and rice combined. Collectively, all those transistors consume more electricity than the state of California. The rise of transistors as â??engines of innovation” emerged from Mooreâ??s Law. And weâ??re still in its early days: paraphrasing Mark Twain, recent reports of the death of that Law are greatly exaggerated.”— Mark P. Mills
