A transistor is a simple electronic device that is the key to storing information electronically. Transistors can be combined to form a "flip-flop", a "latch", or other simple devices. The flip-flop and latch work slightly differently but are both capable of storing one bit of information. One bit is basically just a 1 or a 0, on or off, just like a light switch. Electronically, a 1 is represented as a high voltage (relatively speaking) while a 0 is a low voltage.
