Scenarios about 'transistors'
The electronic components that revolutionized computing and communications by controlling electrical current flow through semiconductor materials. Transistors replaced bulky vacuum tubes in the mid-20th century, enabling the miniaturization of electronic devices and serving as the fundamental building blocks of integrated circuits. Their development marked the beginning of the Information Age and in alternate histories, their earlier or delayed invention dramatically alters technological progression and geopolitical power balances.
