National Inventor's Day: Take a Peak Behind Intel's "Magic Curtain"

posted by Alison Wesley on February 10, 2009

In honor of National Inventor's Day (Feb. 11), I want to congratulate and recognize the accomplishments of inventors - past and present - who aim to find new, creative solutions to problems and unearth novel ways to improve the way we live.  

Working at Intel, I am lucky to be a part of a history marked by world-changing innovations - from Robert Noyce's invention of the first integrated circuit 50 years ago to the famous formula "Moore's Law" named after Gordon Moore. Intel inventors have shaped the technology industry, helped make today's computing and communications era possible and dramatically influenced the way we all live, work and play.

Our company continues to follow the advice of Intel co-founder Robert Noyce who would counsel his employees to "go off and do something wonderful."  With a look behind the Intel "magic curtain," a series of Intel inventors this week will be offering their thoughts on the topic of innovation and providing insight into how advances in chip technology are paving the way for many new applications. 

Share your thoughts on innovation and advice for today's and tomorrow's inventors.
