【 摘 要 】

IT education is popular among the world right now. However, it was not the case when the first PC was invented. This paper would analyze the advancement of integrated circuit bolsters IT education in three ways: Technology is pushing the processors to be cheaper, making more people be able to afford computers thus making IT education possible; Processors are becoming more and more powerful that they are greatly contributing to increasing productivity, thus making the IT education more and more important to meet those goals; The low power-consuming high-performance processors are applicable to portable devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.), making IT education more accessible to children. As the time went by, the processors would be cheaper, more powerful, and less power-consuming. The IT education will have a brighter future.
