Popis: In reviewing the predictions by G.K. Teal for 2012, I am struck most by the accuracy of his vision. The year 1962 was at the very beginning of the electronics revolution. Silicon integrated circuits were but a gleam in the eyes of a select few, yet Teal saw clearly that modern electronics would be based, fundamentally and pervasively, on "tailor-making materials starting at the atomic level". Personally, I believe that the development of new materials and novel structures is going to be as important to the evolution of electronics over the next 15 years as it has in the past 35 years.
