I remember the difficulty we had in the beginning replacing magnetic cores in memories and eventually we had both cost and performance advantages. But it wasn't at all clear in the beginning.

Moore's Law - The number of transistors and resistors on a chip doubles every 24 months

It is extremely unlikely that anyone coming out of school with a technical degree will go into one area and stay there. Today's students have to look forward to the excitement of probably having three or four careers.

No physical quantity can continue to change exponentially forever. Your job is delaying forever.
