Even though Time Magazine reports that Robert Noyce first handled a microchip in college in 1948, the microchip/integrated circuit hadn't officially been invented at that time!

All the people involved in the development of the microchip were all working for the military on the chip at the same time, yet they didn't know of each other's existence or that other people were working on the "invention".

The microchip was not invented but was reverse engineered from wreckage found at the Roswell crash in 1947 - the year the transistor was discovered. It was from this date on that the military had people working on an integrated circuit, all unaware of each other's activity.

Microchips are now used to produce RFID chips which are produced by a Californian company called Alien Technology - a company who has established relationships with the military divisions that the "inventors" of the microchip all worked for.

An Earthly working microchip did not exist until the 1950's
