A Bell Labs 'Transistor History' Paperweight (1967)


The technological "brains" inside a computer that enables it to rapidly process data has quickly evolved over the years:

​From using electro-mechanical relays & vacuum tubes in the 1940's, transistors in the 1950's, Micromodules, Hybrid Integrated Circuits & Solid Logic Technology in the 1960's, integrated circuits in the 1970's, to Very Large Scale Integrated circuits (VLSI) used from the 1980's until today.
