Abstract
Some maintain that unless the United States changes the way it organizes to do business--allowing standards to be set from the top down-- it faces a bleak future in microelectronics. The answer is massive government intervention to support the established companies of the computer industry. The establishment is wedded to yesterday''s computer architecture, which rests on ever more massive and complex hardware and interconnections. It ignores the law of the microcosm, which holds that complexity and price rise exponentially once connections leave the silicon chip. The real answer to the problem of efficiency lies in loading up the chip--and encouraging the entrepreneur.
