Listening The Invention That Changed The World (I)

The document discusses the invention of the transistor and how it changed the world. It describes how vacuum tubes were used before transistors in early computers, but transistors were smaller, more reliable, and efficient. The transistor was invented in 1947 at Bell Labs and consisted of a semiconductor sandwiched between two metal contacts which could act as a switch. This new invention replaced vacuum tubes and led to the development of modern electronics and computers.
