“Today, I rise to celebrate National DRAM Day and recognize the historic invention of dynamic random access memory, DRAM. Patented by Dr. Robert Dennard on June 4, 1968, DRAM revolutionized computing and shaped the digital age. Today, DRAM is an essential component of cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, and in everyday devices--from personal computers to cell phones. This groundbreaking American invention spurred innovation across industries, including defense and manufacturing, strengthening our Nation's global leadership in advanced technology. Furthermore, DRAM has led to the development of critical devices that have improved Americans' access to technology, enhanced our quality of life, and created millions of high-paying jobs, including many in my home State of Idaho. In the 57 years since this remarkable achievement, DRAM has become a cornerstone of the U.S. economy. The semiconductor industry contributes $246.4 billion to the Nation's GDP and employs over 300,000 people across various roles, like chip design, electronic automation, and manufacturing. DRAM is also a vital asset to America's national security.”
