Last week, Synopsys Chairman of the Board and CEO Aart de Geus gave a keynote at the Semico Summit in Scottsdale. His topics were “Techonomics,” collaboration, and systemic complexity. Techonomics is de Geus’ name for the fusion of technology and business economics. As former EETimes publisher and editor Girish Mhatre used to say back in the 1980s, “Business and technology are inextricably intertwined.”

Then de Geus stated that we are entering the decade of Smart everything, meaning that everything is going to be connected to the Internet and the behavior of all electronic devices will increasingly be governed by information gleaned from the Net.
