From "point contact" to Pi...

...in a bit under 65 years...

For those that don't follow links...it's an article on the 65th anniversary of the first working transistor, 16 Dec. 1947.

Look how far we come in a single lifetime...

65 years ago, one single trasistor has that size, and now we have these tiny computers like RaspberryPi with a fraction of the size of the first trasistor.
In 65 years where will the technology be? I bet we'll have millions of transistors on our body
I hope (seriously) to be alive (with "only" 86 years old) and be capable to remember this post
