Shockley participation assignment

Q This is the Shockley participation assignment, which you must submit into the assignment dropbox. Here are the details: After watching both the Shockley Interview, and my mini-discussion of that video, I want you to investigate two things I mentioned in my video discussion. While this is an individual assignment, and which one you do is based on your last name: If your last name starts with A through K: You are to investigate Bell Labs (where Shockley first worked), and tell me at least 9 significant products that were developed at, or out of, Bell Labs, and how they impact us today. If your last name starts with L through Z: You are to investigate the "Traitorous 8" and tell me what companies evolved from those eight people. All together, you should have at least 10 companies, and discuss how those companies impact us today. This assignment is to be in a Word doc, or entered directly in the text window, and submitted into the assignment dropbox by Sunday, end of day (11:59p).

9 significant products that had been developed at, or out of, Bell Labs are charge-coupled device (CCD), communications satellites, cellular telephone systems, solar panel, transistor, Electronic Switching Systems (ESS), quantum cascade laser, SCALPEL electron lithography and Inferno Operating System (Yueming, 2020). Digital photography has become possible because of the invention of CCD (Yueming, 2020). The basis or medium for the operating of the broadcasting media and the wireless media is communications satellites (Yueming, 2020). It would have never been possible to transport and share media content with any viewer watching via television or hearing via radio if communications satellites would not have been invented.
