Customer value creation in the information explosion era

Abstract

The present-day information explosion era in combination with modern semiconductor technology have had a great impact on consumer electronics and information industries. The progress of semiconductor technology and information transmission technology under Moore's Law has eased various constraints on customers, such as place, time, and required preparations. The television, the video recorder, and on-demand broadcasting are three key technologies that have helped overcome these constraints and create new customer values. The amount of communication is still rapidly growing due to the explosion of data contents (such as 4K image) and data creators (such as CGM and IoT). This trend will create new customer values and have a huge impact on semiconductor technology and fabrication.
