They were also bullshitting us in 1948 when they made a transistor? We all know transistors, implemented in machines back then, and today's transistors are not point contact transistors. So those three guys, who got the Nobel Prize, were lying?
Article says same about the Wright Bros. They did fundamental research that proved fundamental scientific theories work. One of many major steps necessary before even application research can start. Nobody is yet close to application research to make a truly functional quantum computer. But we now know this new technology is proven; has a future; will be coming. Just one of many products based in quantum physics that, in 50 years, will become dominant in our lives. But only in nations that do what Google, et al does. And not what GM, Sears/Kmart, GE, and other 'we want to make profit' companies do. |

I'm not sure what's up with you right now, tw, but I won't be engaging.

The Transistor was invented by Bell Labs not IBM. Just so you know.

Where is any implication that IBM developed the transistor? Apparently the esoteric point (ie objectives of fundamental research verses creating a useful products) was overlooked.
Google has done something that other once successful companies did and do no more - ie GM, Sears, Xerox, and GE. And the so many that are now gone because they stopped doing it - ie Kodak, CDC, Unisys, ship builders, TWA, Pullman, AT&T, Goodrich, Polaroid, and various steel manufacturers. Gravdigr's citation makes a same point. That point was quoted. |
