Intel - Gordon Moore on Expertise and Influence

In a business like this, the people with the power are the ones that have the understanding of what's going on, not necessary the one on top. It is very important that those people that have the knowledge are the ones that make the decision. So we setup something where everyone who had the knowledge had an equal say on what was going on.
Gordon Moore
We lived on this side of the street. My grandfather had a store directly across. Behind that, we had our cow. That was part of living in a place like this; you can have your cow close by.
Gordon Moore
As we look on into the future, we're going to find that we can in effect put ourselves wherever we want to be without moving. We can create the environment we want around us. For instance, if I look on the road there, we find most of the cars that are driving by are not carrying goods. They're carrying brains, trying to take the brain to the place where the work is to be done. With modern communications and the extension of what we can see in communications and in computer power in getting information transferred back and forth, there is no reason why you could not carry on this interview at home, at your office with me at my office, etc. And I think that as we look farther into the future, we're going to find that people will live where it is conducive to live not where it is conducive to work. That the movement of the work to the individual will be much easier because as I say, most of our people are doing knowledge work, not work with physical materials so at least that half of the population, today's population, could work wherever they please without any limitation that they have to go into a particular point to do their work as long as the communications and information is available to them wherever they happen to be. Wouldn't you rather work in Hawaii.
