Welcome to SemiLiterate, a guide to the chip industry through the lens of public policy. BLUF: this post describes strategies for identifying emerging trends and technologies in the semiconductor industry. It observes that the easiest way to spot where this industry (or really any tech industry) is heading is to watch where smart investors and organizations are spending their money, where smart people are investing their time, what the big tech companies are doing (or not doing), and monitor the level of enthusiasm for a product/idea among hobbyist communities. Using this approach, this post suggests that we should all be paying a lot more attention to developments in the chip design world (photonics, RISC-V, and EDA), and whatever it is that Jim Keller is working on.
