Irish English literature interaction

The notion of Irish literature is often the subject of much critical contention. For some people Irish literature is reserved for works in the Irish language. The fact that the Irish language was almost eradicated during the nineteenth century is still, however few people actually now speak or write it in contemporary Ireland, an inescapable fact of Irish history and Irish literary history. Its eradication was, in part, a matter of political compulsion and also, in part, a matter of the tragic history of the vast scale of emigration which followed on the Irish Famine of 1845-8.This is why, among Irish writers who write in the English language, language itself becomes the focus of their reflection. Literature in English in Ireland has been a literature in which ideas of Ireland — of people, community and nation — have been both created and reflected. To understand how it is true it is necessary to contemplate the conceptions of a distinctively Irish identity which have b een articulated, defended, and challenged. Another point to consider is how the perception of alienation, felt almost by all Irish writers, influences their choice of themes for literary works.For the material of my study I have chosen the works of two great Irish writers, prose writer Joyce and poet Heaney and American writer who nevertheless is regarded as English writer, Thomas Stern Eliot. The reason I choose to include Eliot in this essay is that he is much like Joyce and the comparison between those two geniuses with help to trace the ways of intersection and similarity of two cultural traditions. Another reason for choosing to study Eliot, together with Joyce and Heaney is that all three writers were exiles, the fact that influenced their literary style and themes.They knew and influenced each other.. Eliot founded new literary movement, and Joyce's technical innovations still occupy his followers like Heaney. The work of all three great moderns exhibits the characteristic fe atures of modern art in being difficult to the point of obscurity, complex, allusive, experimental in form, and encyclopedic in scope. The work of all three writers, especially Heaney’s, is imbued with the modern attitude to the past–that the past was radically different from the present but eternally haunts it and so is inescapably past-present.Of the three writers, Joyce was clearly driven into exile in order to write. Joyce wrote with scrupulous naturalism with its fidelity to detail and habit of naming names, and satiric vein. Outwardly rootless Joyce was not inwardly so. His life and art were transfixed, rooted in the Dublin he had known as a young man, which was the subject of all his work. Joyce constantly carried feeling of alienation in relation to his homeland. Joyce rejected his home, family, society, nation, and religion. Alienation is explicitly detailed in Dubliners, the collection of short stories focused on the exploration of Irish theme.One of those st ories Araby focuses on a vagrant boy energized by a desire for escape from the confinement of Irish culture. The desire for such escape appears already in the first story of collection, continues in the second and finally materializes in the third. The epiphanies at the end of first three stories metaphorize the promise of freedom. To gain clear understanding of this metaphor of the travel in quest of liberation we have to illustrate what was the place of Irish culture in the broader aspect of British literature and how it is reflected in Joyce’s literary work.This story is a metaphor for Joyce’s life too, for his search for place where he would have been able to work. Joyce's issue is to present the lives lived by his people and their characteristic and characteristically Irish ways of trying to make sense of them. The image of Dubliners illustrates more than the human condition; it illustrates the Dublin condition, which may be defined as an excessive degree of susce ptibility to decay and loss. It is a condition not of excess but of deprivation. The first three stories The Sisters, Encounter and Araby are connected by the common hero, a boy, who is looking for something that is not there.Araby opens with an inspection of the empty back rooms of an abandoned house on a blind street: An uninhabited house of two stories stood at the blind end, detached from its neighbors in a square ground (Joyce, 29), concludes with the lights going out in an emptied hall: The upper part of the hall was now completely dark. Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity (Joyce, 36), and in between tracks the narrator as his money and the dreams built on it come, by degrees, to nothing.The story gives much attention to detail. In the scene at the marketplace, the narrator offers vivid metonymic of the boy's world. The boy aspires to commence his journey to Araby, a journey which is metaphorized as chivalric quest. His destinati on is eastward, the East is even more important metaphorically to the boy: â€Å"The syllables of the word Araby were called to me through the silence in which my soul luxuriated and cast an Eastern enchantment over me† (Joyce, 32).Because he had thought the East would be the proper place in which his desire might be realized, he is disillusioned, as readers, of Araby by his encounter with the actuality of the â€Å"empty† bazaar with its â€Å"magical name. † On arrival to the Araby the boy discovers absolutely discouraging scene which makes him describe himself, in this confrontation with the real world, in one of Joyce's most famous sentences: â€Å"Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger† (Joyce, 35).What the boy had expected as the completion of his traveling toward Araby, namely the validation of his mastery, ends by confirming, at least in his own eyes, his power lessness. The wanted to find what the priest, the dead father, has lost: faith in the ability to liberate himself and thereby to make at least the journey, into the unknown. Furthermore, he must find a means of bringing that â€Å"poetry† found in the books into touch with the â€Å"prose,† or reality of ordinary Dublin life. Eliot, like Joyce, was an exile.He left United States and found in England an organic society which satisfied his hunger for tradition and order; society, politics, and religion were more closely related and institutionalized in England than in the United States. Unlike Joyce Eliot’s poetry is universal but there is little specifically local attributions, Eliot's work is not as local as Joyce's is. When we look at his poems for physical evidence of his adopted country, we find little. Such images as there are of city, village, church, or stately home are universalized, made symbolic.Eliot in his poetry tends to touch upon unconventional phi losophical issues like what will happen if we lose the capacity to see the community between persons and lose the capacity to believe in any real community between persons. Such a hypothetical situation is exemplified in The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock where the â€Å"eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase† (Eliot, line 56) have made the community between persons unable to be seen. The climax is in the middle of the poem, where we see most clearly what the theme of this poem is; it is the peculiar affliction of our age — metaphysical blindness.The middle is the most intricate one in the poem, but if we concentrate on what is essential, following Prufrock as he struggles up the stairs, as he wrestles with the dead lumber in his head, and as he draws near to the person he has come to visit, there is a moment of suspended thought, a moment when Prufrock is his experience, a moment typical of in Eliot’s works, where the door out of the corridor suddenly opens, and we are invaded by a sense of reality. The opening here is not much more than a crack: the flash of light to light as the lamplight is reflected from the brown hair on the woman's arms.But it is sufficient not only to throw Prufrock off his bent: â€Å"Is it perfume from a dress/ That makes me so digress? † (Eliot, line 65) but almost to bring him to act. His â€Å"Shall I say . . . ?† shows him on the verge of entering a real present. But then he falls back, and rejoins the arthropods, because he has nothing to act with, just as he had nothing to confront the streets with: here, for example, he did not see the light answering light. This scene illustrates what is meant by the theme of metaphysical blindness. The poetic collection Prufrock & Other Observations had made Eliot famous in the English-speaking literary world.The interplay between Irish and English literature is continued by Joyce’s follower Seamus Heaney. This divided tradition states the essenti al condition of the modern Irish mind. The Irish literary tradition proffered a sense of identity which became the preoccupation of Irish writers of the early twentieth-century like Joyce; that identity still confounds contemporary poets like Seamus Heaney. Modern poetry in general is haunted by the divided mind, a reflection of man cut off from his past, confused about meaning, and attempting to reconcile himself to his solitude.In the Irish literary tradition that reconciliation is defined in cultural and national terms. The struggle for reconciliation becomes embroiled in the question of identity. Heaney wrote in the early seventies, his poems have as their focus the relation of England to Ireland which tends to be that of domineering male to helpless female. His was a witness of cruelty in Belfast when Catholic student arranged civil rights marches. Heaney moved from Belfast at the peak of this conflict, but his poem Punishment presents his experiences: â€Å"I can see her drow ned / body in the bog, / the weighting stone, / the floating rods and boughs†.(Heaney, 1975) In this poem Heaney explores a theme of revenge for betrayal but admits his own feebleness when facing violence inculcated for ages: â€Å"I almost love you / but would have cast, I know, / the stones of silence. I am the artful voyeur / your brain's exposed and darkened combs†¦ † (Heaney, 1975) This poem as other in collection North, are Heaney's ‘bog poems', in which he disturbs very dark emotions and appeals to the political and social situation in his native Northern Ireland.Heaney's through the interpretation of the past gives his comments on the present in concealed yet strong manner. In conclusion, Heaney, Eliot, and Joyce all exemplify the case of the artist who due to various reason is forced to abandon his homeland. Eliot freed himself from America in order to transplant himself elsewhere. Joyce was trying to find a perfect place for his creative activity. D espite his love-hate relationship with Ireland Joyce remained faithful to Ireland in spirit. Heaney deserted North Ireland because of unstable political situation but often resorted to it in his works.Thus we see, beyond certain similarities in their work, striking contrasts in the lives of these three writers. Joyce preceded and prepared the way for Heaney, as an Irishman writing happily in English. These should enable us better to understand them and the general problem of the alienation of the modern artist. Works Cited List: Eliot T. S. â€Å"The Love Song of J.

African Lion Facts Habitat, Diet, Behavior

Throughout history, the African lion (Panthera leo) has represented courage and strength. The cat is easily recognized both by its roar and the males mane. Lions, which live in groups called prides, are the most social cats. The size of a pride depends on food availability, but a typical group includes three males, a dozen females, and their cubs. Fast Facts: African Lion Scientific Name: Panthera leoCommon Name: LionBasic Animal Group: MammalSize: 4.5-6.5 feet body; 26-40 inch tailWeight: 265-420 poundsLifespan: 10-14 yearsDiet: CarnivoreHabitat: Sub-Saharan AfricaPopulation: 20,000Conservation Status: Vulnerable Description The lion is the only cat exhibiting sexual dimorphism, which means that male and females lions look different from each other. Males are larger than females (lionesses). A lions body ranges in length from 4.5 to 6.5 feet, with a 26 to 40 inch tail. Weight runs between 265 to 420 pounds. Lion cubs have dark spots on their coat when they are born, which fade until only faint belly spots remain in adulthood. Adult lions range in color from buff to gray to various shades of brown. Both males and females are powerful, muscular cats with rounded heads and ears. Only adult male lions display a brown, rust, or black mane, which extends down the neck and chest. Only males have dark tail tufts, which conceal tail bone spurs in some specimens. White lions occur rarely in the wild. The white coat is caused by a double recessive allele. White lions are not albino animals. They have normal-colored skin and eyes. The lion is the only cat with different appearances for males and females. claudialothering / Getty Images Habitat and Distribution The lion may be called the king of the jungle, but its actually absent from rainforests. Instead, this cat prefers the grassy plains, savannas, and scrubland of sub-Saharan Africa. The Asiatic lion lives in Gir Forest National Park in India, but its habitat only includes the savanna and scrub forest areas. Diet Lions are hypercarnivores, which means their diet consists of more that 70% meat. African lions prefer to hunt large ungulates, including zebra, African buffalo, gemsbok, giraffe, and wildebeest. They avoid very large (elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus) and very small (hare, monkey, hyrax, dik-dik) prey, but will take domestic livestock. A single lion can take down prey twice its size. In prides, lionesses hunt cooperatively, stalking from more than one direction to capture fleeing animals. Lions kill either by strangling their prey or by enclosing its mouth and nostrils to suffocate it. Usually, prey is consumed at the hunting site. Lions often lose their kills to hyenas and sometimes to crocodiles. While the lion is an apex predator, it falls prey to humans. Cubs are often killed by hyenas, wild dogs, and leopards. Behavior Lions sleep for 16 to 20 hours a day. They most often hunt at dawn or dusk, but can adapt to their prey to change their schedule. They communicate using vocalizations, head rubbing, licking, facial expressions, chemical marking, and visual marking. Lions are known for their fierce roar, but may also growl, meow, snarl, and purr. When lions and other cats rub heads, they exchange scent markers. Verà ³nica Paradinas Duro / Getty Images Reproduction and Offspring Lions are sexually mature at about three years of age, although males tend to be four or five years old before winning a challenge and joining a pride. When a new male takes over a pride, he usually kills the youngest generation of cubs and evicts the adolescents. Lionesses are polyestrous, which means they can mate at any time of year. They go into heat either when their cubs are weaned or when they are all killed. As with other cats, the male lions penis has backward-pointing spines that stimulate the lioness to ovulate during mating. After a gestation period of about 110 days, the female gives birth to one to four cubs. In some prides, the female gives birth to her cubs in a secluded den and hunts alone until the cubs are six to eight weeks of age. In other prides, one lioness cares for all the cubs while the others go hunting. Females fiercely defend cubs within their pride. Males tolerate their cubs, but dont always defend them. About 80% of cubs die, but those that survive to adulthood may live to be 10 to 14 years of age. Most adult lions are killed by humans or other lions, although some succumb to injuries sustained while hunting. Lion cubs are spotted. Image captured by Joanne Hedger / Getty Images Conservation Status The lion is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. The wild population decreased in numbers approximately 43% from 1993 to 2014. The 2014 census estimated about 7500 wild lions remained, but the numbers have continued to decline since that time. Although lions can tolerate a wide range of habitats, they are threatened because people continue to kill them and because of prey depletion. Humans kill lions to protect livestock, out of fear of human endangerment, and for illegal trade. Prey are threatened by increased commercialization of bushmeat and habitat loss. In some areas, trophy hunting has helped preserve lion populations, while it has contributed to the species decline in other regions. African Lion Versus Asiatic Lion Male Asiatic lions have smaller manes than African lions. World of nature / Getty Images Recent phylogenetic studies indicate that lions shouldnt really be categorized as African and Asian. However, cats living in the two regions do display different appearances and behaviors. From a genetic standpoint, the main difference is that African lions have one infraorbital foramen (hole in the skull for nerves and blood vessels to the eyes), while Asian lions have a bifurcated infraorbital foramen. African lions are larger cats, with thicker and longer manes and shorter tail tufts than Asian lions. An Asiatic lion has a longitudinal fold of skin along its belly that is lacking in African lions. Pride composition differs between the two types of lions, too. This most likely results from the fact that the lions are different sizes and hunt different types of prey. Lion Hybrids Liger (Panthera leo Panthera tigris) in zoo, Siberia, Russia. Denis Ukhov / Getty Images Lions are closely related to tigers, snow leopards, jaguars, and leopards. They can interbreed with other species to create hybrids cats: Liger: Cross between a male lion and a tigress. Ligers are larger than lions or tigers. Male ligers are sterile, but many female ligers are fertile.Tigon or Tiglon: Cross between a lioness and a male tiger. Tigons are typically smaller than either parent.Leopon: Cross between a lioness and a male leopard. The head resembles a lions, while the body is that of a leopard. Because of the focus on conserving genes from lions, tigers, and leopards, hybridization is discouraged. Hybrids are primarily seen in private menageries. Sources Barnett, R. et al.

Essay on Bellamys Looking Backward Utopia or Fantasy

Bellamys Looking Backward: Utopia or Fantasy? Although Edward Bellamys twentieth century society in Looking Backward appears to be the perfect utopia, it could never exist. The very factors that Bellamy claimed contributed to the societys establishment and success are, in reality, what would lead to its failure. The twentieth century society lacked the possibility for advancements in technology while at the same time lacking competition and appropriate incentives. Even if we ignore these faults, we observe that when Bellamy created his society for Looking Backward, he made several false assumptions about human behavior and failed to realize that the only way his society could be imposed would be involuntarily.†¦show more content†¦The first three years of service include common labor during which time a person may choose an occupation. After three years, the person enters an apprenticeship and will finally become a full workman. Until age forty-five, when service is over, the person has an opportunity to move up in the ranks of the industrial army. Under this system, it appears to be quite impossible for young men to come up with new inventions and innovations since they must follow this course in their lives. It is often those who are in their early years who become entrepreneurs, but in Bellamys society, youthful years are spent in service to the industrial army. One critic stated that . . . Looking Backward nevertheless recognizes the need for economic and especially ethical constraints on otherwise unadulterated technological advance and unbounded materialism (Segal 104). Contrary to this belief, if it was not for the supposedly unadulterated technological advance, Edward Bellamys society, with its large warehouses and credit cards, would not have appealed to the public as much as it indeed did. Without advancements in technology, an economys production possibilities curve may not shift outward, and the economy basically will be going nowhere fast.

Utopia, though, is difficult to define, but within the context of this time period it is defined as â€Å"a belief in the perfectibility of humanity—a basic goodness in human nature† (Tarlow, 301).

Heroes, Namesakes, and Celebrities free essay sample

In the world that we live in, it is to most people’s understanding that everybody needs certain people in their lives. Most think highly of heroes such as family members like a father or perhaps a well known warrior influence from the past. Even famous celebrities act like role models to some through their particular success and relations between one another. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, we see examples of heroes, celebrities, and namesakes alike as we do in the real world in which aids us in realizing both the purpose of the book, as well as important life aspects. (Huxley) Namesakes are a great example of both the celebrity and heroic type people, being people who are named after a past inspiration such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Clifford Joseph Harris Jr’s. , or even Bernard Marx of Brand New World. (Huxley) Whether it is for security, motivational purposes, or even entertainment, we all have at least one person in our lives that we admire, being our heroes and celebrities. As our lives prosper, we eventually realize that we’re fortunate enough to be involved or even just having knowledge of great people that we refer to as heroes and even celebrities. Many Heroes are idolized for their courageousness and bravery in the heat of the moment when no one else stands up the challenge. It is also their will to make a difference and pursue a task without any thought of failure that most people admire, such as war hero and our first president George Washington. George Washington served as an enlisted soldier in the Virginia militia at the age of twenty. This eventually steered him towards becoming a leader in the infamous French and Indian War. Americans would look up to George Washington as our country’s father, in which many agreed he deserved to be titled as. Despite the odds, disadvantages, and cruelness of war Washington stood up for his country. George Washington knew he would have to put his men and himself through cold, wet and wary battles, but never the less he led us towards our freedoms. When it comes to celebrities, most see them as their source of entertainment, though that is also a stereotypical comment. Some celebrities could be easily seen as heroes though if one can tell the difference. A great example would be rap artist Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. , or better known as T. I. This inspirational rapper is famous for his classic hit songs, though others who aren’t fans of his music might know of him from a heroic act of his. One day on his way to his recording studio in Atlanta Georgia, T. I. heard from a news report that a man was threatening to jump off a twenty-two story building to his death. (Huey) After hearing of this, Harris Jr. went contacted a radio station which was within the building and recorded a motivational video persuading the man not to jump. This being T. I. ’S talent, he was done in no time. The authorities quickly showed the video to the confused man and he understood that his life as all others was too precious to throw away. Right after the man retreated from the rooftop he and T. I. had a long conversation in a room of that building where through the heroic artist’s brought the man to a realization. (Huey) It was that day where Harris Jr. was seen than more than a rapper, but a hero. Celebrities like T. I. are the kind of people who set great examples to others in this world. Other actors look at themselves as ordinary people after committing heroic actions such as Vin Diesel who saved a family from a burning car, and Harrison Ford who transported an injured woman from a mountain out of free will from his own private helicopter; the same copter that he loans his local rescuers to save thousands of dollars per trip. It is also that state of mind that tells them that they are just doing what is right and are ordinary just as the rest of us that truly makes them heroes on top of their celebrity statuses. Not every celebrity can say that they have saved lives and brought peace to a society, but a fair bunch can say that they have indeed made great changes. Heroes such as George Washington, as mentioned earlier, could have easily said that he had made an impact in honestly every Americans life. Washington along with every other war hero did more than their voluntary part in protecting us all and our beautiful home. Little negative change is seen from most heroes, but some may argue that they exist. Going in to namesakes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. , progeny of Dr. Martin Luther King Sr. , carried on in his father’s footsteps as a representative speaker for black rights. Luther King’s words from his many speeches, especially the infamous I Had a Dream speech, were some of his admirable efforts he used to fight towards more freedoms for the Negro Americans. Eventually King’s fighting lead to success, though he did not live to see it. King was assassinated by a racist man, referring to how really only racist people would have seen this great change for blacks as negative. It is more than obvious though that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s work was out of strong belief and determination, completely positive. When reading Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World novel, certain heroes stand out. More than apparent, Henry Ford creator of the model T automobile is seen as perhaps more than a hero. (Huxley) Not only does the era in which the book takes place record their time from the day after his death, but they portray him as a person of worship. Through Ford’s success as an inventor, he became the world’s most important icon in the selection, becoming more than worthy to hold the title of a hero. Were it not for his real life accomplishments, the Brave New World would have been based on something else entirely. (Huxley), Then there is Helmholtz Watson, an Alpha lecturer of the College of Emotional Engineering sets inspiration to his own caste alone. A heroic trait in Watson that is obvious to readers would be is want to do more with his unique skill. Suffering of boredom, Watson feels that his work is now insignificant and wishes to put his writing skill to better use. Being an attractive, smart, strong and well known person at World state he already shows symbols of a hero. Even with these personality traits, it is his want to do more for the better through his writings that gives him hero like quality. Getting into the celebrities so to speak in the selection Brave New World, a few names come to mind. (Huxley). John Savage and Bernard would be two fine examples. Bernard is celebrity like in the sense that he is basically the main character, and that he becomes fairly popular in the World State after his visit to the reservation. He wants things that he simply can’t have such as the sex life that he was so jealous and criticizing about until he got it. Becoming and realizing that he is now a hypocrite, Bernard loses his celebrity like status and makes it clearer to understand how he is not the hero type. John â€Å"Savage† is who takes Bernard spot light after he starts to fade away from the story is surely described as a propagandist. He is seen as an outcast by both the world state and the savage Indian tribe seeing how they don’t let him participate in their rituals, and how the world state does not practice the religion. Though John eventually committed suicide, he stood to what he believed in through his optimistic and naive personality which made him stand out towards others. Relating to the purpose of the book, his death could be recognized by the reader as madness that was his escape from the world he lived in that could not accept his beliefs. As read in Aldous Huxley’s Brand New World, heroes and celebrities alike share common qualities. (Shmoop). Leadership and determination are two of the characteristics that can be found as traits from these two titles in characters from the novel as well as people in today’s real world. To conclude this writing, I find it safe to say that celebrities such as T. I. and Bernard Marx can relate to us through so much action and sensibility. Also that it is Heroes such as George Washington and Henry Ford who make our lives even possible.

Semiconductors The Silicon Chip Essays - , Term Papers

Semiconductors : The Silicon Chip Silicon is the raw material most often used in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. It is the second most abundant substance on the earth. It is extracted from rocks and common beach sand and put through an exhaustive purification process. In this form, silicon is the purist industrial substance that man produces, with impurities comprising less than one part in a billion. That is the equivalent of one tennis ball in a string of golf balls stretching from the earth to the moon. Semiconductors are usually materials which have energy-band gaps smaller than 2eV. An important property of semiconductors is the ability to change their resistivity over several orders of magnitude by doping. Semiconductors have electrical resistivities between 10-5 and 107 ohms. Semiconductors can be crystalline or amorphous. Elemental semiconductors are simple- element semiconductor materials such as silicon or germanium. Silicon is the most common semiconductor material used today. It is used for diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, memories, infrared detection and lenses, light-emitting diodes (LED), photosensors, strain gages, solar cells, charge transfer devices, radiation detectors and a variety of other devices. Silicon belongs to the group IV in the periodic table. It is a grey brittle material with a diamond cubic structure. Silicon is conventionally doped with Phosphorus, Arsenic and Antimony and Boron, Aluminum, and Gallium acceptors. The energy gap of silicon is 1.1 eV. This value permits the operation of silicon semiconductors devices at higher temperatures than germanium. Now I will give you some brief history of the evolution of electronics which will help you understand more about semiconductors and the silicon chip. In the early 1900's before integrated circuits and silicon chips were invented, computers and radios were made with vacuum tubes. The vacuum tube was invented in 1906 by Dr.Lee DeForest. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, vacuum tubes were used to conduct, modulate and amplify electrical signals. They made possible a variety of new products including the radio and the computer. However vacuum tubes had some inherent problems. They were bulky, delicate and expensive, consumed a great deal of power, took time to warm up, got very hot, and eventually burned out. The first digital computer contained 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighed 50 tins, and required 140 kilowatts of power. By the 1930's, researchers at the Bell Telephone Laboratories were looking for a replacement for the vacuum tube. They began studying the electrical properties of semiconductors which are non-metallic substances, such as silicon, that are neither conductors of electricity, like metal, nor insulators like wood, but whose electrical properties lie between these extremes. By 1947 the transistor was invented. The Bell Labs research team sought a way of directly altering the electrical properties of semiconductor material. They learned they could change and control these properties by "doping" the semiconductor, or infusing it with selected elements, heated to a gaseous phase. When the semiconductor was also heated, atoms from the gases would seep into it and modify its pure, crystal structure by displacing some atoms. Because these dopant atoms had different amount of electrons than the semiconductor atoms, they formed conductive paths. If the dopant atoms had more electrons than the semiconductor atoms, the doped regions were called n-type to signify and excess of negative charge. Less electrons, or an excess of positive charge, created p-type regions. By allowing this dopant to take place in carefully delineated areas on the surface of the semiconductor, p-type regions could be created within n-type regions, and vice-versa. The transistor was much smaller than the vacuum tube, did not get very hot, and did not require a headed filament that would eventually burn out. Finally in 1958, integrated circuits were invented. By the mid 1950's, the first commercial transistors were being shipped. However research continued. The scientist began to think that if one transistor could be built within one solid piece of semiconductor material, why not multiple transistors or even an entire circuit. With in a few years this speculation became one solid piece of material. These integrated circuits(ICs) reduced the number of electrical interconnections required in a piece of electronic equipment, thus increasing reliability and speed. In contrast, the first digital electronic computer built with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighed 50 tons, cost about 1 million, required 140 kilowatts of power, and occupied an entire room. Today, a complete computer, fabricated within a single piece of silicon the size of a child's fingernail, cost only about $10.00. Now I will tell you the method of how the integrated circuits and the silicon chip is formed. Before the IC is actually created a large scale drawing, about 400 times larger than the actual
