超级计算机机械计算器问世已经350多年了。但是,直到20世纪早期,在一种叫做三极管的装置发明之后,一种新型的计算器——电子计算机才诞生。计算机与计算器的不同之处在于,它们是可编程的——也就是说,它们有内存,能够储存指令。早期的计算机拥有数以万计的电子管,占满了整个房间。直到1947年,三位科学家发明了一些非常小、但是给我们的生活带来巨大冲击的东西——晶体管。 350 years have passed since the advent of supercomputer machinery calculators. However, it was not until the early 20th century that after the invention of a device called a triode, a new kind of calculator - a computer - was born. The difference between computers and calculators is that they are programmable - that is, they have memory that can store instructions. Early computers had tens of thousands of tubes filled the entire room. Until 1947, the three scientists invented something that was so small, but a huge impact on our lives - the transistor.
