I really enjoyed this presentation. Interesting to know how the move from vacuum tubes to transistors was played out. And how the different materials were needed to get it work right.

Thanks Mart for posting this. I took the time and watched this and it was worth it. If I was teaching a class now in basic electronics I would show this video in my class and then have a test on it. It was not only a great video about the invention of the transistor but how it was sort of an accident. It also showed how a bright man balanced his life out and left the world a better place.
