Puzzle game involving untangling planar graphs

Unlike Gertrude Stein's roses, it's not the case that a transistor is a transistor.

They can be planar formations, they can be three dimensional formations.

Processor performance on Intel chips, the average price of a transistor 1968, you could buy one transistor for a dollar.

As you can see here, they collapse from a three dimensional formation into planar formation.

A transistor is nothing more than a wall switch.

The invention of the transistor marked a new era.

The most commonly available receiving equipment is the transistor radio.

The devices that computers use are what's called a transistor.

So the second layer of simplicity was the transistor in the Internet.

There's no way of predicting the Internet based on the first transistor.

You could have made it in the 1890s you wouldn't have the transistor.

So, since the transistor is so simple, you can put lots of them together.

Look at this graph here.You could buy one transistor for a dollar in 1968.

And that means that a transistor corresponds to about 12 ion channels in parallel.

And one of those competitions, I just won a small, little transistor Philips radio.

Now, the explorers of the world of the atom did not intend to invent the transistor.

The first is the retarding potential analyser, consisting of two planar detectors to measure plasma parameters and to investigate the energetic structure of the equatorial ionosphere.

After Von Neumann, we have the Pentium, where the billionth transistor is as reliable as the first one.

And the cost of a transistor cycle, which is a measure of the price performance of electronics, comes down about every year.

This can most conveniently and economically be achieved by use of the FM VHF bands of frequencies, for which most transistor radios are already equipped.

The information received by the station can be disseminated directly to the local population through transistor radios or directed to the local emergency services, as appropriate.

But our friends who are condensed matter physicists managed to come up, some 50 years ago, with a very nice device, shown under that bell jar, which is a transistor.

I had just done the long jump, and a guy who was missing two legs came up to me and says, How do you do that? You know, we're supposed to have a planar foot, so we can't get off on the springboard.

They're faster, so you've got exponential growth in the speed of transistors, so the cost of a cycle of one transistor has been coming down with a halving rate of 1.1 years.

And the reason why that's happening is that, right now, in 2007 the technology that we are using a transistor is big enough that several electrons can flow through the channel simultaneously, side by side.

The author of this paper explained that the crystal converts the vibration of ultrasound emitted outside the human body into electricity to drive a tiny transistor, which is directly attached to a nerve or muscle fibers, inside the device.

But what's happening now is that in 2015, the transistor is going to become so small, that it corresponds to only one electron at a time can flow through that channel, and that corresponds to a single ion channel.

It reflects the same error made by scholars of technology who argue that all of the radical breakthroughs have already been made. As this view is sometimes put, the next 20 years will see no breakthrough as revolutionary as the steam engine or the transistor.

At some point, companies will be ready to sell products, and market demand can take over. The US Department of Defense was the only customer for integrated circuits in 1962, but by the end of the decade consumers were buying transistor radios and pocket calculators in droves.

Yes, being better connected with each other, through Facebook or Twitter, is valuable. But how can we compare these innovations with those like the laser, the transistor, the Turing machine, and the mapping of the human genome, each of which has led to a flood of transformative products?
