Electronics era to Photonics

ELECTRONICS:

Electronics is the subject that deals with the motion of electrons in vacuum or in solids under the influence of electronic, magnetic or combined electric and magnetic fields to achieve rectification, amplification, oscillation, modulation, demodulation and control. The most fundamental components are Active and passive elements. These are necessary to construct any electronic circuit. Resistors, Inductors and Capacitors come under passive elements on the other end sources, diode, transistors are active ones. Diode is the most primary component of Electronics.

Nowadays Electronics  is multidisciplinary area which serves many applications.

Hence the world is of Electronics and the time is Electronics era.


I hope in future we may get another area called Photonics. 
Where the fundamental particle is photon instead of electron.

I vote in future it makes many changes in the world.

The most important component of electronics is Diode. We know some fascinating facts about diodes.

Do you know who is first invented diode ?

Frederick Guthrie invented the diode in 1873, but did not put it into practical use. 

Many people dont know Thomas Alva Edison made the earlier diode. Thomas Edison independently developed DIODE in 1880 and then used it in his 1883 patent of the incandescent light bulb. But is not popular.
