Inventors don't often set out to change the world. Thomas Edison was searching for a better light source. Henry Ford wanted to "build a car for the multitude" and give people a new means to enjoy the fresh air of the open country.
Robert Noyce, a small-town Iowa boy and son of a congregational minister, thought he could build a better transistor. And he did.
In the process, he and seven colleagues at Fairchild Semiconductor just happened to launch what some have called the second industrial revolution.
