However\, the child grew slowly but steadily with many sibling s during the next decades and the associated growth has captured all walks of human activities. The influence is such that even the breathing of pre sent society is so controlled by the stimulus of this birth. A worldwide a ppraisal during the end of the last century gave the top rank to this baby . It may be noted that the siblings could be born years apart only and tha t also after marathon efforts.\nLooking further back\, it has precedence w ith the parents receiving acclaims in certain cases\, whereas neglects in some other. In fact\, the first semiconductor device development deriving to a patent was 120 years back. We are discussing the births of these fund amental devices which impacted the human life at various stages. Interesti ngly\, the technology progression which happened during these years has im mensely helped in developing many useful tools and techniques for the bene fit of mankind especially in human life style\, health care\, entertainmen t\, etc. All these are indebted to the evolution of semiconductor device t echnology\, which is the theme of this talk. Early stages of semiconductor device evolution depicting the key aspects will be discussed in the first part. Further\, the progression of technology and its transformation from micro to nano-electronic devices will be discussed in brief.\n\nCurrently \, we stand at another juncture\, where the fruits of developments in the last century science and the depth of knowledge mankind acquired through r esearch in material science and various mathematical tools merge to emerge in the form of artificial intelligence\, machine learning\, quantum techn ology\, etc as new sets of advancements intechnological evolution. All the se provide a broad picture of the vast field emerged due to device technol ogydevelopment\, where the importance still lies in understanding the fund amentals of device physics\, materials and interfaces. A very brief overvi ew of these progressions will be presented in this talk along with the evo lution to present day applications like Youtube\, Whatsapp\, etc. The bene fits to humanity are immense from all these but seems to challenge fundame ntals of the human thought process and behavioral pattern. A major pattern change is already happening. Reflections from various corners are alarmin g and a short discussion about such observations is also the part of this talk.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. M.K.
