English term or phrase: vacuum tube
after Bell Lab had invented the transistor, every one of the vacuum tube players took a license into the transistor from Bell Laboratories, but they carried the license into their own labs and framed it as a technological deficiency. The transistor was disruptive relative to the vacuum tube because it couldn’t handle the power that was required to be used in the market that existed at the time. So all the vacuum tube players worked on the technology very hard so that it could become good enough to be used in the market. The way the transistor actually made it to market was in 1953 a little company developed a germanium transistor hearing aide. And this was a simple application that valued the technology for the very attributes that made it unusable there.
