In the exact sense since we exist in more than two dimensions you are correct but in the traditional sense we most certainly do from writing on flat
pages, making paintings that once astounded the medieval mind when they realized they could add perspective, printing OR scribbling circuits onto
PCB's with acid resistant pen and then etching the surplus copper off of them leaving only the drawn or printed circuit pathways using (Nasty stuff
never spill it on yourself will go right through and eat away the bone without dissolving the tissue) hydrofluoric acid.
To designing circuits on a Two dimensional representation on a monitor screen using a CAD program or even a specialist electronic CAD program, to how
we engineer using two dimensional representations of flow process, flow charts etc.
To even printing those IC's and laying sometimes several circuit's one atop another.
But we have not yet created true three dimensional integrated circuitry YET, we print wafers not synthesised Cubes of circuitry.
Of course discreet components are very different, transistors though the origin of the IC - well actually that is Diodes but Transistors are a tiny
bit more complex of course - oh the days of popping a zenar just to see how well it handed massive reverse current, and the package they are placed
in, resisters, thyristors, transducers (those tiny or large coils of copper wire you see that just seem to wind like a tiny transformer winding
without a core to use the EM to change the phase of the current in them etc) are all designed, manufactured and used in a far more traditional three
dimensional manner, the circuit they are usually soldiers onto though is still most often a flat circuit board.
