關於本電子書
The narrative unfolds across three distinct sections, beginning with the fundamental shift from vacuum tubes to silicon transistors in the 1950s. The story gains momentum as it explores pivotal developments, including Intel's creation of the first commercial microprocessor in 1971 and the subsequent race toward miniaturization that gave rise to Moore's Law. Supporting its central thesis that microprocessor development represents humanity's most significant technological acceleration, the book draws from extensive semiconductor industry archives and firsthand accounts from pioneering engineers.
Moving beyond pure technical exposition, the book explores the intersections between computer engineering, materials science, and quantum physics, making complex concepts accessible to readers with basic technical knowledge. It concludes by examining emerging technologies like neuromorphic chips and biological computing interfaces, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of both current realities and future possibilities in computing technology. Throughout the work, practical applications and real-world implications are emphasized, helping readers grasp how these advances continue to shape our daily lives and future technological landscape.
