The Growth Of Transistors The transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power. The transistor has played a major part in the creation and advancement of today’s electronic devices such as radios‚ calculators‚ and most of all computers. Computers used to be very large expense of machines‚ only owned by companies for calculating purposes‚ and ran off Vacuum tubes which were commonly too noisy and got to hot. With the invention of transistors

Engineering in Plants In the 1920’s‚ a man named Henry Wallace founded a company called “The Hi-Bred Corn Company.” He began selecting corn plants that flourished in certain aspects and bred them with other prosperous plants to make a hybrid. After pollenating the female silk of one plant with the pollen of another; the resulting offspring displayed both traits. This idea of ‘selective breeding’ would go on to become the norm in that era of agriculture because it produced bigger and better plants. Because

Genetically Modified Plants and Animals Why should we know about the genetic modification of plants and animals? In this world today we are seeing different labels on our foods but does anyone even really know what they mean? For example what is the difference between a regular tomato and an organic tomato? We should know what foods we are consuming and how they affect our bodies. I believe that more regulations should be put into place by the Food and Drug Administration so that we are better
