YOU ARE NOT DIGITAL Computer networks. Cable modems. Fiber optics. Uplinks and downloads. Bits and bytes. Mega, giga, and tera everything. And of course, there's the 'Net. You live and work in a sea of digital information, but you are not digital. Electronically speaking, you are an analog circuit. So is everything in the natural world, from the water flowing in a trout stream to the rhythmic waves of your pulse. Then, there's the world of digital electronics: computers, fax machines, calculators, networks and many other products. National creates the technologies that link people to the world of electronics. Our semiconductors shape digital data into music, voices, television shows, phone calls and computer displays. Sound, temperature, pressure, color, power, speed and light are analog phenomena that must be shaped into digital data, then reshaped into people-friendly formats. Our technologies also move data from point A to point B. Through telephone lines, to and from satellites and around computer networks: broadcasts, narrowcasts, pointcasts and webcasts; faxes and cellular telephone calls. At National, we create the analog and mixed-signal technologies that move and shape information, putting digital power at your fingertips, connecting you to your world. |
