Transistorized! [videorecording] / co-production of ScienCentral and Twin Cities Public Television; producer, Gino Del Guercio; executive producer and narrator, Ira Flatow, 1998.
The story behind the invention of the transistor at Bell Laboratories in late 1947 and its immediate and continuing impact on our society and the world. The creators use actors to recreate scenes, historic film footage, sound recordings, readings from personal diaries, and personal interviews, to present the story which begins with the vacuum tube and ends with today's microchips and Silicon Valley. The story centers on the working relationship between the transistor's inventors, John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley, as well as the contributions of Bell Laboratories and the growth of the telecommunications industry.
