 Computer-related introductions in 1947

In 1947, significant developments in the field of computer technology were taking place, particularly with the transition from mechanical computing devices to electronic computers. One notable event was the invention of the transistor, which was developed by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley at Bell Labs. The transistor replaced vacuum tubes, allowing for smaller, more reliable, and energy-efficient electronic devices. Additionally, 1947 saw continued advances in computer programming and early programming languages.
