Every so often, we have a thread talking about what would have happened if the point contact transistor had been invented and/or adopted en masse earlier.
What needs to happen for the age of the transistor to begin earlier? If, for example, promoting it in 1926 wouldn't help mainly because mass production of semiconductor materials was still decades off, then how do we move up the mass production of semiconductor materials?
