Very true!! I was taught by a very good professor (K.C Smith, if you've
ever heard of him) back in my undergraduate circuits course. His
innovative way of circuit analysis influenced me a lot and here I am
now doing research in Analog IC design.

Logic systems that ustilize analog techniques are also becoming
popular. Think about Multi-Valued-Logic. And myself has spent some
time in looking into possiblity of apply analog technique into new
logic gate designs as well.
