Powering the Future: Why Microchips are the Building Blocks of Technological Advancement
The global economy is defined by an invention every one of us uses every single day, almost without thinking about it: a technology integral not only to our daily lives but to military might and geopolitical strategy: a technology that advances so quickly there is even a famous rule to describe the pace of progress: Moor's Law. That technology is, of course, the microchip, and understanding both its history and its current importance to the global economy is vital to understanding the world of tomorrow. In the episode, Pictet's Head of Communication Hubertus Kuelps meets Professor Chris Miller, a historian at Tufts and the author of the award-winning new book Chip War.
