But we won’t bore you with a lengthy discussion of the transistor, nor the silicon chips upon which they reside. Instead, we're going to offer up a look at what we feel are the most revolutionary products of the miniaturized transistor age – those benchmark tech-related hardware goods that have helped shape the world in which we live today. One prerequisite: Each item must have been available to the average consumer via regular retail channels.
