One son appears in stereo – a transistor in one ear and the phone in the other. Erma Bombeck
Transistors
In the increasingly mechanized,
In the increasingly mechanized, automated, cybernated environment of the modern world a cold, bodiless world of wheels, smooth plastic surfaces, tubes, pushbuttons, transistors, computers, jet propulsion, rockets to the moon, atomic energy man’s need for affirmation of his biology has become that much more intense. Eldridge Cleaver

Some consider UNIX to be the second most important invention to come out of AT&T Bell Labs after the transistor. Dennis Ritchie
Once upon a time
Once upon a time … the only autonomous intelligences we humans knew of were us humans. We thought then that if humankind ever devised another intelligence that it would be the result of a huge project … a great mass of silicon and ancient transistors and chips and circuit boards … a machine with lots … Read more
It’s amazing. It’s actually
It’s amazing. It’s actually build from old Siemens Telefunken transistors from the 60ties. There is like 10 in there. It’s the most powerful distortion you can have. It does not only do distortion, it does so many weird things. You can’t control it, it’s sound different all the time. But it’s an endless source for … Read more
I remember a great
I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas. Cher
The transistor was a
The transistor was a small plastic unit that would take us from a world of static bricks piled on top of each other to a world where everything was interactive. Ayah Bdeir
The main ingredient of
The main ingredient of the first quantum revolution, wave-particle duality, has led to inventions such as the transistor and the laser that are at the root of the information society. Alain Aspect
