Synopsis
Excerpt from Electronics What Everyone Should Know
In America today, in fact throughout the world, a word whose origin dates back many centuries has taken on a new and mighty meaning. It promises a future to eclipse the most fantastic scientific dream. We mean, of course, Electronics.
But what is electronics? What does it import to you as an individual?
Make a long-distance telephone call. Turn on your radio. Read a magazine. You are benefiting from the science of electronics, in its earliest and simplified forms.
The phone call and the radio are both dependent on electronics, and the magazine was probably manufactured or printed with the aid of electronic control.
Electronics is an art and an industry built around electronic devices and electronic tubes. These tubes and devices have special ways of putting electrons to work - electrons, those invisible particles existing in all matter, incredibly small, and capable of moving at unimaginable speeds.
Your home radio is an electronic device because it uses electronic tubes. These tubes can transform, control and amplify electronic energy. They can change a whisper into radio energy of many horsepower and send it out into space. They can dig infinitesimal voltages out of the air and fill your living room with music.
