Networking
Use of Semiconductor
TechnologyNow the semiconductor microchips are
used and technology is being spread
over smaller devices which has been
used by the car industry since the 70s.
Example of the uses of these
microchips with
microelectromechanical systems
being added to ink jet printers.
Advance Information Storage
Devices
This would be things like disk drives
which is more cost effective and more
useful. For better performing they also
expand the amount of information and
now, more information is in digital form
rather than any other format.
Networking
