Innovation, Startups, and Funding in the Age of Accelerations: A Survey of the Evolving Landscape

ABSTRACT

Thomas Friedman's recent book, Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations, traces how the technology revolution, fueled by the acceleration predicted in Moore's law, has transformed our lives [1]. Friedman celebrates the remarkable advances that have occurred over the past several decades and describes, in layman's terms, the ways in which the solid-state circuits community is transforming diverse fields ranging from computing to transportation, communications to robotics, and entertainment to energy.
