Interestingly, Robert Noyce thought this article was a bit of a tall tale by Tom Wolfe. Here's a quote by him from 1984:<p>> It's interesting to me to see what an enormous amount of publicity the microchip has gotten recently including that article of Tom Wolfe's. Incidentally, on that article of Tom Wolfe's, I do want to point out that Tom Wolfe is first of all a novelist. And only secondarily is he a historian but everything that appears in print of course is true as you've all learned. Particularly if you ever read something that you know something about.<p>Source: <a href="https://youtu.be/AfxUq_QrpyY?t=2m20s" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/AfxUq_QrpyY?t=2m20s</a>
