This book introduces the general scientific and engineering underpinnings of microelectronics and nanotechnology, and explores how this new technological revolution is transforming the very essence of civilization. To round things out for the technologically curious, special "widget deconstruction" chapters address the inner workings of ubiquitous micro/nano-enabled pieces of technology such as cell phones, flash drives, GPS, DVDs, and digital cameras. Want to know how that iPhone works? Here's your chance!
