The second generation marked a significant change, vacuum tubes
were replaced by transistors, thus reducing the size, but not much.
The systems were now faster and cheaper and more power efficient.
A semiconductor component that is used for amplifying and
switching electronic signals. A transistor comprises of an Emitter,
Collector and Base.
