the transistor we now know replaced those hot vacuum tubes and enabled the miniaturization of electronics almost immediately there were transistor radios and then combined with of the technology at the integrated circuit it became the underpinning of our computer world. now we have billions of transistors literally in our pockets to rely can pull my device out of my pocket and i that you could, too read billions of transistors right there. shannon's fury which came out at the same time at first blush had nothing to do with that. it was a coincidence. he was thinking at least officially about telephone wires, copper telephone wires his theory of communication was of great use in the coming up with techniques for compressing information and sending it efficiently over these analog lawyers for example in the presence of malaysia's. but while he solved a lot of these problems in an analog way, he simultaneously solved them in the digital way meaning its digital and in our world that makes it suitable for storage on all kind of new devices instead of just records we have compact discs which st

to speak in terms of study and the stage for the world we live in today, dear the transistors have been in, they came up with this information very and that darville publishes books cybernetics. why did all these things come together then? >> guest: that year was the starting point for my book because i started the book in the middle. .. >> and not exactly the start of what we call the information age by like to think it is the start of the time in which we began to realize that all human history had been information age. [laughter] >> host: how did he come up with the term? where does that come from? >> as far as anyone can tell and dented by a statistician who worked at princeton for many years. he was a roommate and was a wonderful guy. there was a lot of discussion not yet invented mythical quality it is a sore four by gary digits and of course, it is a nice little word. vino what it is. true or false or yes or no. that olivetti which lies at the heart of so much of the computer era is due to shia and who wrote to a master's thesis when he was barely 20 years old and which he was ge

unlike the transistor, the transistor, everybody knew it was going to be a big deal. when it was announced that same year put that a big press release. the bulky, hot vacuum tubes and enabled the miniaturization of electrons almost immediately. transistor radios. and then combined with the technology of the integrated circuit it became the underpinning of our computer world. you know, now we have billions of transistors this surely in our pockets. i mean, i could pull my device have of my pocket, and i bet you could to. billions of transistors. shannon's theory which came out at the same time at first blush had nothing to do with that. he was thinking at least officially about telephone wiles. his theory of communication was of great use while he solved a lot of these problems in an analog way, he simultaneously solve them in the digital way meeting not just sign waves where everything is continuous, but in terms of what we now call bits. that is where everything is broken up. and it is digital. in our world that makes it suitable for storage on all types of new devic

so by making it uniform you are getting rid of the bad transistors, technology that cuts power in half. so you can put twice as much on your mobile phone and have the same battery life. >> it will reduce chip power consumption by 50%. intel has announced a new transistor that cuts consumption. >>> two scientists are predicting hotter summers in the next 20 years. rise in temperature will be irreversible. it will warm so quickly that even the cooler centers will be hottest summers in the past 50 years. the study will be published later this month. >>> new study is revealing how dangerous it is for babies to get too much sun. new review in pediatrics shows that sun exposure early in life may trigger melanoma decades later. they say baby's skin hasn't developed enough protection. they advise parents to keep children six months or younger out of sun completely. >> next at 5:00, oakland police have a high-tech tool that will keep their emergency communication up and running. >> hayward police have made an major announcement in the case of missing nursing student michelle le. details will be

this is controlled by the same transistor that controls the toyota prius. when the elevator is empty, the counterweight polls the elevator and it generates electricity by breaking. the same thing as in your toyota creosote or another hybrid car. -- prius or another hybrid car. here inside we have the ibtv drive. this is important for landing of the elevator. also, acceleration and deceleration, if there is instability in a car, can be reduced. >> so we have taken a ride in an antique elevator. >> this was an elevator built in 1913. >> we have checked out current elevator technology. >> these were installed in 1972, outside observation elevators. >> it is not standard because there is no tape that runs it. but shane we have seen the future of the elevator technology. >> i am going to push the access key which will access the voice. >> this has precise generation of power, which is important for highly acrilan the landing of the elevator. >> what happens next week and not know but it will be exciting. thank you for showing us this interesting technology. the

. >> this is a chip with a lot of difference among the different transistorsu look at using our technology on the same thing you see a much tighter distribution. it is important because the chip is like a khaichbility only as good as the weakest link or worst trans istor. making much tighter and more yawn form you are getting rid of the bad transistor. >> technology that cuts power in half but you get the same performance so that means you can put twice as much on the mobile phone and same battery life. >> the technology will reduce chip power consumption by at least 50%. last month intel announced new transistor that cuts consumption by a third. >> in france there is now a ban on using lines like follow us on twitter or find us on facebook on television. french regulators rule they violent ban on secret advertising. broadcasttors there only use the generic phrase social media. spokesperson for the rule makers says why give preference to facebook worth billions of dollars when there are many other social networks that are struggling for recognition? >> califor

because of a problem with the transistor that is causing the heat damage to make the vehicle coast torom the driveway to the medicine cabinet. extra strength tylenol being recalled. because of a musty odor that is leaked to chemical that could temporary gastrointestinal symptoms. and bank of america settlement agreeing to pay $8 billion to put issue to rest. virtual game-maker set to make real money. the maker of farmville zengha is going public. they say they filed the paperwork for ipo today. and plans to raids $1 billion -- raise $1 billion to sell the stock. at the new york stock exchange, i'm jane king with the bloomberg business report. >>> a new landmark study on breast cancer screenings indicate the procedure can dramatically cut the number of breast cancer deaths. researchers in sweden followed 130,000 women for 30 years and found regular screenings cut breast cancer death by 30%. experts say a 30% reduction would translate in to 15 to 20,000 lives saved each year if all women were screened. the study result confirm previous findings linking screenings to a reduction in death

the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transistor -- transgender committee has specific services. some of those will be cut. i am wondering if there is some thought to that. what is the message to the lgbt community about the protection of those services? it may be hiv prevention or other related services. >> the executive director's have come together as a group. i will be meeting with them shortly about that as to how we will maintain services for this community. i think it is an important process. we're also working with the trans injured -- transgendered community for a program that will be happening next year. it is important to start working with executives. i know we have some people here to save services at the martin clinic for march and the next few years. it is an important process. we're working with the executive directors. it goes back to community-based organizations and how we will support them and have them manage their programs. supervisor campos: thank you very much. i will speak as an openly gay, latino man. lion martin is very important. there are a lot of othe

and you know that, but the senior warden more came up with moore's law, basically saying the number of transistors incorporated in nature with double every 24 months. should this matter to you? the idea of everything getting cheaper? >> you can see the trend because the first if i was aware of is the 4004, then the estimate, which we built that first machine on. that's the history museum in albuquerque and in the 88th. siewert read the chips were getting so much better in so much faster and cheaper. and now of course every component that the portable device are cheaper and faster and better every year. it has been amazing. i mean coming to the trend was happening. you do know with an affiliate at the time, but it is obviously happening in a way. >> i swear, this is my last bill gates question. don't worry. but, you guys have your question cards, so please feel free to right questions. actually, most interesting passage about bill gates and the book is when he wrote i left before the date and we both had our trance success. in certain respects, neither of us has been quite as good a loan as we work

the label, usa, is fading. three, we air drop transistor radios. can you eat them? will they keep you warm? this one is called les american, october 5, 2001. we are feral, rare as mountain wolves. our hearts are pure and stupid. we go down, pitted against our own. there's one other short thing. we gathered there frequently, old scholars, printers, book collectors, old and young writers pass through the place on any given afternoon. all kinds of activity came to the shop in the years i worked there. they were the early years of the black awareness, robert williams was active in south carolina. there was a period of time when the cot in the back of the store was a drop off for various disassembled armaments. sometimes someone we didn't know would put something under the mattress, making the cot unusable for several days. someone would come by and take the hardware away in a shopping bag and that would be it for a week or so. there was often a black photographer who would come to the shop with an empty shopping bag. when he left, he with leave in a zigzag and eventually get on a bus going sout
