Hi Folks.
For anyone with a spare 15-30 minutes check out on the BBC's webpage, their 'Science in Action' podcast latest episode.
Nothing specifically about our Company.
It's all interesting as you can see from the program summary below but particularly.......
the segment on the 75 years of transistor electronics starting around 14 minutes, 45 seconds in, particularly towards the end where the lady speaking when talking about "where next?" mentions "
ambient intelligence" where the staggeringly large number of interconnected devices surrounding us have some level of embedded intelligence helping us live more healthy and more productive lives. The number of computing devices already exceeds the number of people in the world today and it is estimated that within the next 5 years there will be about
350 Billion computing devices that are connected wirelessly!
And yeah, she drops the old
Ubiquitous in there as well.
Might be a bit simple for our Brainiacs, but some good fodder for us plodder's.
Sorry folks, couldn't find a way to embed a link but easy to find on the BBC.co.uk website.
Enjoy.

75 years of the transistor electronics revolution - where next for Moore's Law?
December 16th 1947 was the day the first ever transistor device passed an electrical current. Trillions are made every day these days, powering our interconnected world. Roland recalls meeting some of the pioneers for the 50th anniversary, including Gordon Moore, and hears from Berkeley Dean of engineering Tsu-Jae King Liu how the revolution will continue for another 25 years.
