Is it really the basis for a revolution as profound as the industrial revolution? Bernard Falk takes a layman&#8217;s view of what the silicon chip is, how it&#8217;s made and works. From a Chicago millionaire&#8217;s home to a Birmingham car-test track, and from a psychiatric hospital in Scotland to a Swedish factory, he looks at how the new technology is being used and what it could do in the future.

By using microelectronics in its products or in production, a company can improve its competitiveness enormously. But to ignore the opportunities offered by the chip could lead to disaster when other &#8211; largely foreign &#8211; competitors are forging ahead. And what of the effects on the workforce if a company &#8216;goes micro &#8216; ? Are our fragile industrial relations capable of adjusting to the changes the new technology will force on us? Bernard Falk reports from Holland, Sweden and Norway to put the British position into perspective.

Starting in America, Bernard Falk visits places already using the new technology to find out what could be in store for white collar, blue collar and professional workers in the next decade. What kinds of jobs will change or disappear? Are there areas where employment will increase? What will be the effects on the professions? How must our attitudes change if we are to enjoy the benefits of this new revolution and not suffer its worst effects?
