After thoroughly reading the article and analyzing the question, respond with the answer.

Title:
Computer

Context:
Historically, computers evolved from mechanical computers and eventually from vacuum tubes to transistors. However, conceptually computational systems as flexible as a personal computer can be built out of almost anything. For example, a computer can be made out of billiard balls (billiard ball computer); an often quoted example.[citation needed] More realistically, modern computers are made out of transistors made of photolithographed semiconductors.

Question:
Vacuum tubes in early computers were replaced by what?

transistors
