Re: 10^15 transistors produced in 1990.
A more interesting number would be the number of working transistors
thrown away. We probably throw away a trillion working transistors
every year, just because a few thousand or hundred thousand
transistors or connection lines are broken.
What a waste. I think we should use lasers to cut out & recycle
these working transistors. 8-)
