Nuvistors found their way into some high end applications but transistors surpassed them in a few years, and they just faded away.

fascinating to imagine an alternate reality where transistors never worked and people figured out how to miniaturize vacuum tubes, etching arrays of them on metal wafers and building computers. In fact, they could even have built the entire Internet using a series of tubes.
