A starting point for wisdom is a humble assertion: “I (We) don’t know.” This assertion can be the real beginning of wisdom. Wisdom can be defined very simply as “the ability to judge soundly.” Because business transactions per se do not inspire much wisdom in decision makers, wisdom comes from...
The scaling of silicon technology has been ongoing for over forty years. We
are on our way to commercializing devices having a minimum feature size of
one-tenlh of a micron. The push for miniaturization comes from the demand
for higher functionality and higher performance at a lower cost. As a result,
successively higher levels of...
Digital communications technology has immeasurably enhanced our capacity to store, retrieve, and exchange information.
