Video/Transistor Questions

What technology was used prior to transistors to amplify a signal?  
Triode in a vacuum tube.

How did it change the history of communications in the US? What was the metaphor that the video used to describe how this technology worked?
As long as there were amplifiers communication could travel along the length of distance.



Describe the break through in the 1947 that made the transistor a reality? 
point-contact transistor made from  gold foil on a plastic triangle, pushed down into a slab of germanium.



What do we learn from watching this video about group and team dynamics that we can apply to our own situation? What was successful about this team? What was its downfall?
As long as a team can accept each individuals responsibility they can come together to reach a common goal. If a team gets split through ego or greed, chaos and disappointment is likely to occur.



What medic and social changes occurred as a result of the transistor?

Communication was allowed from long distance, health and safety could operate more effectively.
