jan 1, 1947 - Transistors were Invented

Description:

- The creation of transistors led to electronic equipment to gradually become smaller and
smaller. This allowed the formations of nanotechnology.

- Transistors were cheaper and more reliable than vacuum tubes, encouraging the development of cheap personal use computers. This technology would later become a crucial part in developing things such as smartphones and PCs.

- Without transistors, the computers would use vacuum-tube triodes, which need machines the size of rooms to get the same processing power as a transistor.
