Explanations
Draft
Semiconductors are materials whose electrical conductivity can be deliberately controlled – unlike copper, which always conducts, or rubber, which doesn't. This property makes them the foundation of all modern electronics: transistors and diodes are built from them to process information. Without semiconductors, the internet as we know it would be impossible.
