Jean Hoerni is known for the invention “planar process”. This inclined the architecture and design of data processing systems. The planar process is located on the circuit board, and it enables you to get more information on a single chip. This allows computers and/or other devices to be smaller. Also our cell phones wouldn’t be able to store as much information and still be able to fit in our pocket.
This has changed the world in so many ways and without this invention it would be a lot harder. Without the “planar process” we would have computers the size of whole rooms, and we wouldn’t have laptops. Also without it, we probably wouldn’t have smart phones, or iPods. Both of these items are small and hold small memory chips. Without the planar process we wouldn’t have and small pieces of technology.
