Questão 2. More than fifty years ago - shortly after lunch on Dec. 23, 1947 - the Digital Revolution was born. It happened on a drizzly Tuesday in New Jersey, when two Bell Labs scientists, William Shockley (1910-1989) and John Bardeen (1908-1991), demonstrated a tiny device they had made from some strips of gold foil, a chip of semiconducting material and a bent paper clip. As their colleagues watched with a mix of wonder and envy, they showed how their gizmo, which was dubbed a transistor, could take an electric current, amplify it, and switch it on and off. That Digital Revolution is now transforming the end of this century the way the Industrial Revolution transformed the end of the last one. Today, millions of transistors, each costing very little, can be impressed on wafers of silicon. On these microchips, all the world's information and entertainment can be stored in digital form, processed and sent quickly to every corner of a networked planet.
