By 1833 the knowledge of materials had advanced to a point where the first electronic amplifier was made. It was just a relay, but it enabled the creation of the first control systems which found immediate military and commercial applications ... Electronics had arrived, and the world didn't look back. In 1974 the solid-state transistor emerged, and within 15yrs the first integrated circuit. Moores' Law was discovered, the periodic beat that produced ever more sophisticated, cheaper and pervasive products ... And a societal addiction to their magic. Through nearly 200yrs of electronics Scientists have increased our knowledge and processing of the 118 elements ... but the materials themselves are still the same as they were in 1833. So today as the size of integrated transistors approach the size of atoms themselves, can societies 'expectation exponential' be maintained ... Have we reached the end of Moore's Law?
