The transistor is 13 years old. The transistor is not a new technology...
- scott_s 5y agoThe transistor was invented in 1947. By 1960, 13 years later, transistors had replaced vacuum tubes as the dominant technology for electronics.
- thisisbrians 5y agoYes, and then the internet took another 20+ years.
- scott_s 5y agoYou made an implicit argument: it took a similar amount of time (13 years) after the invention of the transistor for them to be used to solve real problems. That is clearly wrong. What argument are you trying to make now?
