    @ifeanyichukwuidoko6599 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Awesome! You have really clarified to me what a semi-conductor is actually. I do wonder why semiconductors are used in electronic devices as you mentioned but don't conduct electricity. But now I know that it conducts electricity when the surrounding temperature is increased to cause the electrons to jump from a ground/lower state to a higher (or excited) state. Also, that conduction can take or take place when the gap between electrons in material from a lower energy state and a higher energy state is small (conductors) or medium (semi-conductors). Thank you once again.

    • @SanjaySingh-oh7hv
      @SanjaySingh-oh7hv 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, that's not strictly true. It is possible to build digital computers without transistors or even electronics. So there would not be an information age as we currently enjoy, but digital computers would still be around, just a great deal slower, but still faster than doing math by hand. Eventually semiconductors would have been discovered at some point, just like calculus eventually was invented or discovered (depending on your viewpoint). Alternatively we might be doing computing with biology or chemistry.

    • @SanjaySingh-oh7hv
      @SanjaySingh-oh7hv 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@ritulimbu3570 - Yes it is. You need to read technology history some more. Before the transistor for digital/Boolean logic, there was the vacuum tube (ENIAC used vacuum tubes), and before that there were electromechanical relays (the Atlas computer), and before that, gears (Analytical Engine). Vacuum tubes and relays and gears; all of these can be used to create logic gates. Furthermore the Analytical Engine by Charles Babbage had a Turing complete instruction set, meaning it could in principle compute anything while using wheels, cams, and gears to perform operations.
