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

The number of transistors on an integrated circuit will double in about 18 months.

The technology at the leading edge changes so rapidly that you have to keep current after you get out of school. I think probably the most important thing is having good fundamentals.

Most of what I learned as an entrepreneur was by trial and error.

With engineering, I view this year's failure as next year's opportunity to try it again. Failures are not something to be avoided. You want to have them happen as quickly as you can so you can make progress rapidly.

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.
