The integrated circuit would change the computers by making them faster, smaller and more accessible to people. The Intel company is still very important in the computer world, Intel develops and sells processors and microprocessors and is one of the two important companies in that area, the other being AMD. The evolution of computers to the point of personal computers and beyond is accomplished by the work of Robert Noyce and his legacy is still important and the development of the integrated circuit is recognized as one of the most important breakthroughs in computer technology. The work of this man isn´t very recognize outside the Silicon Valley, because people dont know about his invention, which is more or as important as the creation of Apple or Microsoft, Noyce was the one who actually create the personal computers, because after his invention,the computers could be as big as a room and very slow to don't mention the heat they created he make them seem smaller and faster. He help important companies to make the first step to the use of personal computers.
