The first transistor created at Bell Labs in 1956, securing a Nobel Prize for their research.
The first generation of computers depended upon the invention of vacuum tubes; for the second generation it was transistors; for the third, it was the integrated circuit; and the fourth generation of computers came about after the invention of the microprocessor
the introduction of semiconductors sparked a revolution in electronics on par with that of steel and steam engines in the Industrial Revolution.
