technology: Turing's work on Instruction Obeying Machine, Von Neumann's model of the stored program
digital computer, and the packet-switching Internet.
(With the Internet, any computer could be connected
to any other computer. With the Web, any document
could be connected to any other document. With social networks, any person could be connected to any
other person. With Internet of Things, any device could
be connected to any other device.) We have witnessed
tremendous technological progress, in particular in
the last twenty, thirty years, and I believe that the next
milestone would be Quantum computing and/or Biological Computing.
Question 7: What are your suggestions or advice that
you want to offer to younger generations? For example,
do you have a message for the bright students who are
considering a career in academia or semiconductor industry but are not very sure about it?
Prof. Liu: There is prevailing thinking: If one was
trained in a particular academic area, one's employ-

ment, career, or contributions to the society would be
confined to that particular domain. Not so. Academic
training is a training of one's mind, not just merely skills
or muscles in a narrow application-oriented area. Study
of semiconductor science and technology offers a wideopen fertile ground for one to grow intellectually, and
then move on for deeper, broader, and even total reversal of developments. There was a story that a reporter
asked the Chairman of a big motor company in Detroit
about the academic discipline he expects his successor,
in twenty years, to be in. Engineering? Management?
Accountancy? The response: " I expect her to be a Philosophy major!' With persistence and dedication to stay
on course, and with courage and open mindedness to
change your course of pursuit. Fame and wealth are
only in the eyes of by-standers, happiness and satisfaction flow internally.
