History
The generation of electricity began in the 19th century and this led to the development of all manner of inventions. Gramaphones were an early invention and this was followed by radio transmitters and receivers and televisions. The first digital computers were built in the 1940s with a slow development in technology and total sales. In the 1990s the personal computer became popular. A large part of the electronics industry is now involved with digital technology.
The industry now employs large numbers of electronics engineers and electronics technicians to design, develop, test, manufacture, install, and repair electrical and electronic equipment such as communication equipment, medical monitoring devices, navigational equipment, and computers.
