Best Answer

The silicon chip became available in the 1970's. Prior to that electronics were made from discrete transistors and components. Devices such as pocket calculators (c.72) and LED watches became available in c.1975 but were quickly superseded in the late 70's by the more energy efficient LCD displays. LCD displays for computers did not exist until the middle 1980's.

Originally packaged in kits for self assembly, home computers started to be available, though they were very expensive and didn't really have a large market. It wasn't until around c.1977 that pre-built computers started to appear.

Larger CRT televisions of up to 32" were available.

Will Japan's people take over?

No. Japan's people will not take over. Japan's government gambled on the best 1970s technology for its automobile industry. It was right. It made the best products available in the 1970s. It still makes the best products available for the 1970s. The same government that pushed industry forward in the 1970s is now holding it back. (The same thing happens in other countries. Mexico has the largest untapped petroleum reserves in the world. They took over their oil business in 1938. They can not recover that oil using 1938 technology.) The people likely to take over are the Chinese. The government has gotten out of their way. While the government needs to do something about their pollution, It does not need to determine their technology.
