The softwarization of hardware is the key trend, agreed. The software-defined radio/network/storage etc are happening quickly now. For the low-end hardware, e.g. the IoT field, the wearable market etc, the software is also key, for instance, they need the cloud platform to be effective and useful these days. We just need more workshop/factories to turn the (low quantity) hardware-design into real products with high quality, which is still very challenging and a bottleneck.
