Peter Biantes says that a transistor makes it possible for a computer to control an air tower, cell tower, and much more. A group -of transistors makes up a circuit, which in turn forms the logic gate. This gate is the fundamental principle behind computation in electronics. In addition, you can find millions of logic gates in a single computer. Same to the transistor, the number of logic gates a computer has will determine its power and speed.

Past Predictions About the Transistor

Gordon Moore back in 1965 predicted that computer transistors will undergo a tremendous change in the future. He published a paper where, in the future, numerous transistors will be integrated into circuits. Similarly, he predicted that chips will grow bigger, computers will be more advanced, and transistors will get smaller. His prediction came through years later. His predictions became what people know as Moore’s law today.
