Unit 1 Unit 1 Computer and Information (II) 计算机与信息 COVERSATION2-1 Hints: Professor Wang one-inch
One student is asking his teacher for some information. Professor Wang, I hope I'm not interrupting. But I have some questions. Not at all. What is it about? In class, we learned so many terms. My first impulse is to ask: "What's new in electronics?" I suppose that would be silly. No, the question is all right. You know there's something new in electronics almost every day. Where do I start? What about the term “microelectronics"? Does it mean miniaturization? No, it's a step further into, the sphere of micro miniaturization. To me it's the most exciting field, particularly the mini-computer. How "mini" can it be, can you tell me? Well, it's already possible to have 140 distinct circuits on a one-inch disc of silicon. I see. Then you can make an apparatus small in size and light in weight.
