Texas Instruments
It was built by American scientists at the Texas Instruments labs in 1958; the first prototype of a microchip will be auctioned on 19th June as a collector’s item, at an initial reference price of 1 million dollars up to 2 million dollars. Since yesterday the microchip has been displayed at the exhibit held in Christie auction house of London.
In the first half of the 20th century, computers occupied whole rooms and everyone wanted someone to conceive a new way of creating smaller machines. The very first microchip was engineered by electronic engineer Tom Yeargan on the basis of Jack Kilby’s theories, considered to be as the inventor of the microchip. Originally the executive of Texas Instruments did not believe that it would be possible to shrink an integrated circuit, but they were mistaken. Nowadays, thanks to microchips, we can receive worldwide news.
In 2000 Kilby was awarded the Nobel Prize, and in his speech of acceptation he paid homage to the scientists and technicians who contributed to his invention, starting from the British Alan Turing.
