That would be the vacuum tube. There were hundreds of thousands of them in the old, original computers. Of course the newer computers depend on the semiconductor junction, invented in 1948 by Shockly, Brattain, and Bardeen. These were the first transistor, and sophisticated electronics these days use the same technology.
