Electronics technology for low-power computing and wireless communication

The information age has gone mobile. Over the next two decades, the energy of this rejuvenated information revolution will create the majority of new electronics applications and illuminate key electronic device technology drivers. New-age mobile information appliances will be small, light, inexpensive, numerous, and connected to international-scale information services. At the forefront of high-tech will be low-cost consumer electronic distributed systems. To meet this challenge will require increased emphasis on adaptive wireless communications, interface technologies (such as displays and microelectromechanical systems), advanced packaging, and low power techniques.<>
