Have you ever looked at a device and wondered how they could possibly fit all those features and intelligence inside a single, tiny device? Chances are it’s been happening more frequently, and there are no signs of slowing down.
Today, you already see products like credit cards with security chips inside or car tires that wirelessly communicate with the vehicle about road conditions, tire inflation and temperature.
Embedded solutions are everywhere, and most people don’t even know it. Soon, even engineers won’t be able to tell. In the next two years, various advances in embedded electronics will combine, creating some highly integrated products that look as though they lack all the necessary electronics due to the tiny nature of the circuitry in addition to the seamless integration into the product.
