Mary Offill gave a speech on computers about the time this article was written.
I liked slide rules but did not use a real computer until 1970 when I took summer school in Silicon Valley.
I wanted to drop out of college and get a Silicon Valley job, but went back to college that was the fad back then.

On April 19, 1965, an article with a title only an engineer could love —
“Cramming More Components Onto Integrated Circuits”
— appeared in Electronics magazine,
a trade journal about the radio industry.
The earnest meditation on component-cramming by Gordon E. Moore, an electronics engineer who went on to run Intel,
should have been a niche exercise.
Instead, it may be the most influential trade magazine article ever published.
By extrapolating from his observations in the nascent semiconductor industry near San Francisco,
Moore managed to foretell the entire future of computing.
