On this date in 1947 at Bell Labs the most important discovery of the last 1000 years was fully tested. Built on the 23rd, the Christmas break stopped research. On the 26th what was tested? The first working point-contact transistor. You are using millions—right now.pic.twitter.com/kEsmY97sux

Thinking it over you are right. Previously, inventions could break out 0 or 1 localities eg only space (eg airplane) or time (eg telegram, electricity), but the transistor did both. As such, transistors started to prime individual global consciousness viz concept of non-locality.

Daniel, brilliance sir! Thank you. Now we need to see what this has brought about and where it will take us. 1947 is really not that long ago.
