Miniaturization : Evolutionary Concept in Technology
On asking evolutionary inventions till date, anybody will list smartphones, mag-lev train, internet etc. No doubt they are, but today we are going to glance at a 'concept' in technology instead of a product or service which brought evolution. The concept is Miniaturization. It is defined as a trend to manufacture smaller mechanical, optical and electronic devices. In simple language it is downsizing. Today computer branches like IT, CS, AI and ML are at peak. Logic gates, flip-flops, Finite State Machines serves as memory, decision making and algorithmic hardware. Most importantly we can't code in air; we require hardware therefore according to me electronics is backbone of computer branches. Let's have a look how it helped in miniaturization of computer. History of Computers Today computers are performing unimaginable and smart tasks. Earliest computer devices were the machines that perform mathematical operations. Almost computers were counting devices then. Abacus ...
