I am thinking(in fact worried about) a topic that I have no answer for. That's why, I am posting here, and inviting international intelligentsia to come and share views.
First my background: I am an ASIC designer who has just started my career in ASIC design industry. I am doing codes in Verilog and trying to learn to verify them using Systemverilog. I have a good background in FPGA based system designing using both Verilog and VHDL. Along the path, I am also considering to learn Microcontrollers, just to be able to do SoC based projects. And that's it.
So the point is: All languages right from C++ and Verilog were designed based on an idea of Binary or Boolean algebra. All microprocessors and digital systems work based on this idea.
Soon, quantum mechanics based processors will hit the market, where bits will be replaced by Qubit and Miocrocontrollers will be replaced by some other types of processors. Chip design methodologies will be changed as well as the verification mythologies and software. Surely, there will be no shortage of engineers for new technologies as well. But the guys like me, who are working with old technologies, what may be good way out? I mean, to handle this coming revolution, how can we guys learn new technologies(As now, either I will earn or will go to the University, which is impossible for me now). And there are many thousands like me out there.
so the question is: Will we become useless like many thousands analog guys before or there is some good solution for us as well.
Please share your views.
