| Abstract | In the past two decades, computer, consumer and communication products remain the main driving force to push design technology further deep to advanced technology node. The consumer market seems to run out of fuel in the past year. Will new innovation or convergence drive the next explosion in consumer applications? In this speech, Mr. Jim Lai will express how our lifestyle has been changed by technology and how human needs push the IC design to different applications. From the close observation of the IC design industry, he will point out the challenges which IC design industry currently face, and draw the trend and potential solutions to support the continuous evolution of human life. |
