Following is our list of the most famous transistor quotations and slogans. We've compiled this selection of inspirational transistor quotes. Hopefully, these transistor quotes will keep you motivated not only during hard times but to expand your transistor knowledge!
You've got to be a thermostat rather than a thermometer. A thermostat shapes the climate of opinion; a thermometer just reflects it. — Cornel West
Computer : a million morons working at the speed of light. — David Ferrier
The next major explosion is going to be when genetics and computers come together. I'm talking about an organic computer - about biological substances that can function like a semiconductor. — Alvin Toffler
[Our lab uses] a desktop inkjet printer, but instead of using ink, we're using cells. — Anthony Atala
Regardless what technology is, I like analog too. — Lou Gramm
Electronics were rascals, and they lay awake nights trying to find some way to screw you during the day. You could not reason with them. They had a brain and intestines, but no heart. — Ernest K. Gann
A friend yesterday mentioned that semiconductor tech is probably the deepest node in our civilization's explored tech tree. This actually sounds right, but is also a fun concept, any other candidates? — Andrej Karpathy
Short Transistor Quotes
Moore's Law - The number of transistors and resistors on a chip doubles every 24 months — Gordon Moore
Going down the old mine with a transistor radio. — Van Morrison
I had this little handheld transistor radio that I used to sleep next to. — Rod Stewart
One son appears in stereo - a transistor in one ear and the phone in the other. — Erma Bombeck
The number of transistors on an integrated circuit will double in about 18 months. — Gordon Moore
My parents didn't like me. For bathtub toys they gave me a blender and a transistor radio. — Rodney Dangerfield
If you're thinking of the brain as a computer, [the neuron] is the transistor. — Carl Schoonover
My access to music when I was growing up was through pirate radio, you know, transistor radio under the pillow, listening to one more and then 'just one more' until your favourite track comes on. — Robert Palmer
The transistor was a small plastic unit that would take us from a world of static bricks piled on top of each other to a world where everything was interactive. — Ayah Bdeir
Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents pots and pans -- the used things, warm with generations of human touch, essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum. — Susan Sontag
Some consider UNIX to be the second most important invention to come out of AT&T Bell Labs after the transistor. — Dennis Ritchie
We tend to credit those who create an idea, not those who perfect it, forgetting that it is often only in the perfection of an idea that true progress occurs. Putting sixty-four transistors on a chip allowed people to dream of the future. Putting four million transistors on a chip actually gave them the future. — Malcolm Gladwell
The main ingredient of the first quantum revolution, wave-particle duality, has led to inventions such as the transistor and the laser that are at the root of the information society. — Alain Aspect
I began to realize something - to understand the future you have to understand physics. Physics of the last century gave us television, radio, microwaves, gave us the Internet, lasers, transistors, computers - all of that from physics. — Michio Kaku
In the increasingly mechanized, automated, cybernated environment of the modern world a cold, bodiless world of wheels, smooth plastic surfaces, tubes, pushbuttons, transistors, computers, jet propulsion, rockets to the moon, atomic energy man's need for affirmation of his biology has become that much more intense. — Eldridge Cleaver
I knew when I was a kid that I had a Broadway voice. I wanted to be a rocker, because I grew up in that era of transistor radios at the beach. — Patti LuPone
Let the people decide through the marketplace mechanism what they wish to see and hear. Why is there this national obsession to tamper with this box of transistors and tubes when we don't do the same for Time magazine? — Mark S. Fowler
Cheap, functional, reliable things unleash the creativity of people who then build stuff that you could not imagine. There's no way of predicting the Internet based on the first transistor. — George Whitesides
Telephones in 2020 will be archaic, relics of a bygone era-like transistor radios are today. Telephony, which will be entirely IP-based by then, will be a standard communications chip on many devices. We'll probably carry some kind of screen-based reading device that will perform this function, though I assume when we want to communicate verbally, we'll do so through a tiny, earplug-based device. — Josh Quittner
My parents were kind of over protective people. Me and my sister had to play in the backyard all the time. They bought us bikes for Christmas but wouldn't My younger brother will remember that he received a transistor radio for Christmas. I took it apart and it never worked again. — Stephen Elop
The creative musician ... is ... the radio receiver, not the broadcasting station. His personal discipline is to improve the quality of the components, the transistors, the speakers, the alloys in the receiver itself, but never to concern himself overmuch with putting out the program. The program is there; all he has to do is receive it as far as possible. — Robert Fripp
Radio wasn't outside our lives. It coincided with and helped to shape our childhood and adolescence. As we slogged toward maturity, it also grew up and turned into television, leaving behind, like dead skin, transistorized talk-radio and nonstop music. . . . — Vincent Canby
And here is our girl, looking-- If possible, worse than before. (You thought this was Cinderella transistorized?) — James Tiptree Jr.
