The 1960s weren’t just about rock ‘n’ roll and Vietnam War protests; they were also the birthplace of cutting-edge electronics that defined a generation. From sleek transistor radios to ...
1960 US A working MOSFET is built by a team at Bell Labs. E. E. LaBate and E. I. Povilonis made the device; M. O. Thurston, L. A. D’Asaro, and J. R. Ligenza developed the diffusion processes, and H. K. Gummel and R. Lindner characterized the device. [12] [13] 1960: US EUR ALGOL, first structured, procedural, programming language to be ...
By 1960, magnetic core was the dominant memory technology, although there were still some new machines using drums and delay lines during the 1960s. Magnetic thin film and rod memory were used on some second-generation machines, but advances in core technology meant they remained niche players until semiconductor memory displaced both core and ...

For the past 80 years, the United States has been integral in fundamental advances in telecommunications and technology. For example, AT&T's Bell Laboratories spearheaded the American technological revolution with a series of inventions including the first practical light emitted diode , the transistor, the C programming language, and the Unix ...
This is a list of obsolete technology, superseded by newer technologies. Obsolescence is defined as the "transition from available to unavailable from the manufacturer in accordance with the original specification." [1] Newer technologies can mostly be considered as disruptive innovation. Many older technologies co-exist with newer alternatives ...
America in the 1960s was rattled by the war in Vietnam and the social movements of that time. It is similar today, the thinking goes, as America is still finding its feet after a historic pandemic ...
