问题     Technology trends may push Silicon Valley back to the future. Carver Mead, a pioneer in integrated circuits and a professor of computer science at the California Institute of Technology, notes there are now work stations that enable engineers to design, test and produce chips right on their desks, much the way as editor creates a newsletter on a Macintosh. As the time and cost of making a chip drop to a few days and a few hundred dollars, engineers may soon be free to let their imagination soar without being penalized by expensive failures. Mead predicts that inventors will be able to perfect powerful customized chips over a weekend at the office — spawning a new generation of garage starts-ups and giving the US a jump on its foreign rivals in getting new products to market fast. "We’ve got more garages with smart people. " Mead observes, "We really thrive on anarchy. "
选项
答案 技术的发展趋势有可能把硅谷重新推向未来。卡弗? 米德——集成电路的一位先驱，加州理工学院的计算机教授——注意到，现在有些计算机工作站使工程技术人员可以在它们的办公桌上设计、试验和生产芯片，就像一位编辑在苹果机上编出一份时事通讯一样。由于制造一块芯片的时问已缩短到几天，费用也只有几百美元，因此，工程技术人员可能很快就可以充分发挥他们的想象力，而不会因失败造成经济上的损失。米德预言，发明者可以在办公室反用一个周末的时间就生产出完美的、功能很强的、按客户需求设计的芯片——这样就能造就新一代从工作室起家的技术人员，在把产品推向市场方面使美国把它的外国对手们打个措手不及。“我们有更多的工作室，而那里有许多的聪明人，”米德说，“我们确实是靠这种无政府状态发展起来的。”
