Everything will be forgotten. The only question is "when".

Well, I'd argue that (for example) Warren Buffet will be forgotten long before the invention of the transistor will.

But what about the inventor of the transistor? I already don't know that name. (But on the other hand, I don't know many names)

I meant the inventors of course. They shared a Nobel prize: Shockley, Bardeen, and Brattain.

Anyways, it was just an example.
