Нужен хороший перевод текста, без использования переводчиков. in 1948 due to the invention of transistors there appeared the possibility to replace vacuum tubes. the transistor occupied an important place on the way to computer development. the potential advantage of the transistor over the vacuum tube was almost as great as that of the vacuum tube over the relay. a tran¬sistor can switch flows of electricity as fast as the vacuum tubes used in computers, but the transistors use much less power than equivalent vacuum tubes, and are considerably smaller. transistors are less expensive and more reliable. they were mechani¬cally rugged, had practically unlimited life and could do some jobs better than electronic tubes. transistors were made of crystallic solid material called semiconductor. with the transistor came the possibility of building computers with much greater complexity and speed.
Вместе с транзисторами пришла и возможность конструирования более сложных и быстрых компьютеров.
