Transistor Radio Turns 50
 According to Gizmo.com, "Fifty years ago this month, the world's first transistor radio went on sale. The Regency TR-1 narrowly beat Raytheon and little-known Japanese company Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo to market and began the revolution which has changed the world."
Texas Instruments proved that small transitors would replace vacuum tubes and make possible an array of small and inexpensive radio devices. Happy birthday Regency TR-1.
