Vacuum Tubes

The Vacuum Tube controls electric current flows in electronics (electrons). It's invention was a crucial step for the development of the radio, TV, and computer. The first vacuum tube was invented in 1904 by John Fleming. Then, the thermionic vacuum tube was invented and made electronic devices much smaller and more practical. These superior tubes allow for better radio transmission and frequency receivers. Even radio stations today still use this technology. In the television, the tubes are more energy efficient than LCD and LED. The electrons in the tube hit a fluorescent coating on the screen causing the glow of a TV. Before the invention of the tube, computers were made with electronic relays which was much slower than the tubes. After the invention of the tube, and while inventors began using them more frequently, speed, lifetime and reliability increased to make it clearly a better choice in design.

Flipbook

The book I decided to create a flipbook for is The Boy in The Striped Pajamas. I have learned about the Holocaust since I was little, as a young Jewish girl attending a Jewish school. I wanted to show my interpretation of the outcomes of the Holocaust. Although many people died, we have learned from our mistakes to promote peace for the future. We also obtained the state of Israel. We must remember what happened so it will never happen again.

Link to the flipbook is here:
