"The Digital Society of the 21st Century - How Electronics, Photonics, MEMS, and Biology Will Impact Consumers"
Waguih Ishak
Vice President and Chief Technology Officer
Avago Technologies
We are approaching a highly creative era in which digital consumer electronics and life sciences will drive much of high-technology research and products for the betterment of people, society, and the environment. Further advances in digital electronics and biosciences will have major impacts on our society. In particular the integration of photonics and electronics, with the utilization of micromechanics, will allow us to develop sophisticated systems not achievable before to improve lives, speed and spread diagnostic technologies, and leapfrog traditional hurdles. Examples are lab-on-a-chip, instrument-on-a-chip, communication circuits, terabit optical interconnects, to name a few.
