Abstract
The electronics industry has survived and flourished despite undergoing three major inflection points. In each case substantial US government funds were provided to overcome the crises, resulting in a well-funded semiconductor industry. In all cases the electronics industry absorbed the funds, but by free-will it adapted in its own way and emerged transformed and reenergized. The ability of the electronics industry to revitalize itself became evident as the 2020 pandemic revealed how fragile the global supply chains had become. Investments of hundreds of billions of dollars from governments around the world ensued to overcome a fourth crisis. Once again, the electronics industry reinvented itself as three concurring technologies are now supercharging a dramatic transformation that is going to forever change society as we now know it.
