Electronics
Electronics are a gateway technology leading to computers.
- They enable and make possible advanced, pre-intelligent machinery and devices.
Description (Specifications)
Many kinds of specialized electronics exist including:
- Astronics, specialized for interstellar navigational calculations and operation through the vacuum.
- Avionics, specialized for aircraft operation within a gaseous atmosphere.
History & Background (Dossier)
TL:7-9:
Workable electronics are generally become available in the TL:7-9 epoch. Very limited electronics and simple circuits may become available earlier, but are rarely able to mainstream into consumer and military goods.
TL:10-12:
No information yet available.
TL:13-15:
Cutting edge electronics at the TL:13-15 are often unrecognizable to earlier peoples. They often make use of subatomic microelectronic components, dedicated nanotechnology, or even organic components or biotech. Many scientists and futorologists assume that the trend of paradigmatic change will hold and the future kinds of electronics in advanced artifacts may be unrecognizable to TL:13-15 societies.
TL:16-18:
Current research into the Hop Drive will undoubtedly yield new kinds of ship computers and vastly improved capabilities for FTL transportation. Current technologists and futurists are anticipating a paradigm change.
TL:19-27:
Some Imperial scientists have quietly made the observation that psionic science may underlay future societal and technological developments.
