The early 20th century was dominated by bulky and triodes, which were essential for military radio and the first telephone systems. A "deep" shift occurred in 1947 at Bell Labs with the invention of the transistor . This single innovation allowed systems to shrink and become more reliable, eventually leading to integrated circuits (ICs) . By the 1970s and 80s, these building blocks enabled the birth of microprocessors, satellite communication, and the first cellular networks, effectively shrinking the globe.
