A Salute to Mr. Kilby

I salute you Mr. Kilby. If you are reading this post, or have checked your watch in the last 50 years, or have ever microwaved food, or have done anything at all besides living in a hut in the middle of the forest, you owe this man a great thank you. As inventor of the integrated circuit, he has touched just about every piece of electronic equipment in your life.

A name such as his should not pass into anonymity.
