External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on History of the transistor. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20120310102910/http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs_iportals/iportals/aboutus/history_center/conferences/che2004/VanDormael.pdf to http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs_iportals/iportals/aboutus/history_center/conferences/che2004/VanDormael.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

The problem with this article

The problem with this article is that it does not say, right up top, what a transistor is and what it does. There needs to be a solid graf that answers the "what is it?" factor.
