数字革命发生的确切时间是1947年12月23日下午,地点在新泽西的一个会议室。两位贝尔实验室的科学家向公众展示了他们的一项发明,那是用几条金箔、一小片半导体材料和一枚弯曲的回形针组成的小玩意。他们的同事在台下怀着惊奇和嫉妒的复杂心情看着他们摆弄自己的小玩意几,让电流流过、将电流放大、或将电路断开。这个东西被命名为晶体管。 The exact time of the digital revolution occurred on the afternoon of December 23, 1947, in a conference room in New Jersey. Two Bell Labs scientists show the public one of their inventions, a gadget of gold foil, a small piece of semiconductor material and a curved paper clip. Their co-workers watched as they confused their gadgets in the complicated and envious mood of the audience under the stage, letting current flow, amplifying the current, or breaking the circuit. This thing is called a transistor.
