Description

The Circuit Board sweatshirt celebrates the Information Age. Human curiosity, experimentation, and ingenuity gave rise to the semiconductor industry. The start of the Information Age is associated with the invention of the transistor, particularly the MOSFET (metal-oxide-silicon field-effect transistor). Transistors are key building blocks of circuit boards inside our electronics. The embroidery design is an artistic interpretation of a circuit board. “We usually imagine that invention occurs in a flash, with a eureka moment that leads a lone inventor toward a startling epiphany. In truth, large leaps forward in technology rarely have a precise point of origin.” - Jon Gertner in “The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation”
