Memristor electronics (are new textbooks needed?)

Some topical issues of developing the elemental base of electronics and circuitry in the field of telecommunications and television are considered. Due to the rapid development of nanotechnology, creating a promising elemental base of telecommunication devices is based on new materials, new devices and instruments for research. Examples of the development and use of new elements (memristors, flashristors and other devices) when applying the new principles for arranging memory cells, computers with higher speed and a new type of neural networks are provided. The model and features of the memristor functioning as a memory cell and as a logical element of digital circuitry are considered. The prospects for the development of memristor electronics are considered. In the author’s opinion, the basic knowledge about new materials and a new element base should be included in programs for studying modern electronics and circuitry.
