...silicon chips, related semiconductor devices and microcomputer-controlled products. At rush hour, cars inch along Highway 101, the valley's main drag, and peel off into the parking lots of well-manicured, one-and two-story buildings with names like Siliconix Inc., Synertek, Advanced Micro Devices, Signetica, and Intel Corp. Enveloped in their mystifying jargon of RAMS and ROMS and bits and bytes, the technicians who work in these factories would seem an alien breed to most Americans. Reports TIME Correspondent John Quirt: "Advances in chip making have come so fast that recent engineering graduates are almost the only...
Computers are also moving into other areas, thanks to the invention by Marcian E. Hoff Jr., of Intel Corp., of the micro computer, containing tiny (1/6 sq. in.) chips of silicon, now used in cars to control antiskid systems or monitor engine temperatures and in refineries and sewage-treatment plants to control the decomposition of waste and the levels of bacteria. Some engineers are also working on the development of home computer terminals that could give individuals access to whole libraries of information, as well as start a sort of "electronic democracy" in which public opinion on any issue could...
...Faces. Traditional watchmakers are not letting themselves be caught dozing; almost all are regearing for a solid-state bonanza. But inevitably, the technological change is bringing a host of new corporate faces into the watch industry, mostly as manufacturers of components. Among them: Motorola, RCA, Intel and National Semiconductor. The last two not only supply traditional watchmakers, but also have begun turning out finished products of their own. The newcomers are almost all from the computer and radio industries, where much of the solid-state technology originated...
There are also some modest investments in companies that were once thought to have promising futures as investments, but have faded of late: Intel, Coherent Radiation, Scan Data. At least one case involved a company that Nelson's brother Laurance had bankrolled: Itek. Says Reginald Oliver, director of research at Pershing & Co.: "Lots of trusts absolutely wouldn't be permitted to buy such things...
...simply, it is an emotional and intel lectual reluctance to believe that Communism is a monolithic doctrine of belligerence based on a fanatical dream of world domination...
