Here's the answer:- 1) A guy named Don Valentine worked at Fair Child for 7 years before eventually going on to found a venture capital firm that lead Apple's first ever investment round. Arguably the most notable spinoff from/contribution of Fair Child was what we know today as Sequoia Capital. 2) Fair Child's co-founder Gordon Moore predicted in 1965 that the number of components on an IC chip will double every year. This observation & projection of historical trends came to be know as 'Moore's Law'.  Advancements in digital electronics, such as the reduction in microprocessor prices, the increase in memory capacity (RAM and flash), the improvement of sensors, and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras, are strongly linked to Moore's law

# Did you know that most important Silicon Valley companies today can be traced back to a single semiconductor company called "Fair Child"? Notably, Intel and AMD, two of the biggest tech giants, were born directly out of this company. However, that's not all that Fair Child contributed to the tech industry. # One of its spin-off companies is responsible for a whopping $1.4 trillion market cap today, and links even Apple to Fair Child. Additionally, a law developed by Fair Child is used by almost all companies involved in physical production today to develop strategies. # Can you guess what this spin off company and this law is?
