What 4th Graders Taught Me
Two weeks ago, I spent my day with a group of very intelligent 4th graders sharing with them the importance of water and its use in semiconductor manufacturing. If you are not aware, in short, we need ultrapure water to remove impurities from our silicon wafers. But as I started talking with the students, it was quickly evident they knew that water is a critical and scarce resource. A few students even shared with me, on that ironically rainy day, how technology can help save water. Their enthusiasm was contagious and today, on World Water Day, if caused me to reflect on our progress at Intel and on what I can do at home to save more water too.
