Geoffrey Dummer conceptualized the design, Robert Noyce was granted the first patent, and Jack Kilby’s application was being reviewed while the first patent was granted. Integrated circuits differ from their predecessors in that integrated circuits remove the need for transistors, resistors, diodes, capacitors, and wires by using silicon boards and soldering....

Sometimes tropes can be like squibs to genre filmmaking: you can’t make an action movie without them. For instance, I’m sure you have seen the beat where one character holds a knife really close to the unblinking eye of another; it’s in everything from Mission: Impossible to Spider-Man 3.
