Zusammenfassung:The semiconductor industry was born out of disruption-the disruption of the vacuum tube by the transistor. While the first transistors weren't very good when compared with the vacuum tube and therefore could only be used in a very limited number of low-performance applications, the commercialization of transistor technology had two characteristics essential to the success of a disruptive technology.
