The year 1958 is significant in the history of computing for a few reasons: 1. **Invention of the transistor**: While the transistor was invented in 1947, its application in computing and electronics gained real momentum in the late 1950s. By 1958, transistors were increasingly being used to replace vacuum tubes in computers, leading to smaller, more reliable, and more energy-efficient machines.
