Symbiotic relationship between semiconductor & IT - system thinking analysis for the future
System thinking analysis for the future of the symbiotic relationship between semiconductor and IT 1. FRAMING Since mankind invented the computer, transistors have been continuously evolving. Now, transistors have evolved into semiconductors based on ultra-high-density integrated circuits, and they have become the most important component that enables absolutely all computing tasks around us, not just simple computers. In fact, semiconductors are essential not only in mainframe computers, personal computers, and mobile devices, but also in various electronic machines. Moreover, in recent years, it has become a key component that enables connection/communication between electronic devices. Another great recent change is taking place in the automotive industry. The internal combustion engine vehicle, which has been pointed out as one of the main culprits of global warming due to CO2 emissions, is rapidly being replaced by electric vehicles that operate based on computing technol...
