How do industries typically break out of that kind of path dependence?
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoFirst, it's not really a path dependency. Silicon is easier to work with than gallium arsenide, not just because we have more practice. We have more practice because it's easier. How do we break out? By gallium arsenide offering enough more than silicon does to be worth the effort. So far, that hasn't happened. It may never, except for small niches.
