What major technology trend was influenced by Conway's VLSI work?
Microprocessor design
Smartphone development
Social networking
Cloud computing
Answer
Microprocessor design was heavily influenced by Carver Mead and Lynn Conway's work on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI). Their research enabled the integration of thousands of transistors onto a single chip, making microprocessors more powerful and affordable. This breakthrough paved the way for the development of personal computers, smartphones, and other electronic devices that rely on microprocessors for their operation.
