How many people are learning how to build ASIC's right now? Designing them, improving them. Scaling their production up. What kind of contributions are those teams making to the wider field of application specific circuitry?
What future benefits will these now-trained minds create with what they learned here?
What future technology will be built in some small way on the advances made in this field?
Future success isn't random, and it isn't driven by random new geniuses. It's built, person by person, experience by experience.
The men at NASA who got us to the moon learned skills that very few humans have been able to learn since. Their skills last a lifetime and have been brought to countless businesses and ventures.
I think the same thing here: the people, the skills and the technology are all beneficial to develop because we simply cannot know how they will be used in the future.
We can only provide a menu of options for the future, our future selves must build something new from that menu.
But if we do not provide a full menu, our future selves will not have what we need to succeed, and we may not even realize it.
