The US electronics industry is not in near as much trouble as many posters on this board seem to think. True, electronics manufacturing is worldwide now, but there is plenty going on in the US.
Texas Instruments is building a new IC fabrication plant in Dallas, IBM and the AMD Spinoff, Global Foundries have and are building IC fabrication plants in New York. Intel has many IC fabrication plants in the US. In addition to these other IC companies have fabrication plants here.
In addition to the above, many of the ICs used in consumer electronics today are designed in the US. Some of these are manufactured overseas, but the design work was done here.
The next time you purchase a consumer electronics item(or other item-such as an automobile) manufactured overseas, remember that a US designed/manufactured IC is probably included.
