computers - Explain what is a transistor in plain English!


Can someone care to explain - in plain English - what a transistor is and how it works. I know computers are full of these but don't know much about them.


P.S. I know about this site from another one in the family of StackExchange (I have no engineering background) and hoped someone might help me with this. Please don't link to the wiki explanation. I've read that and I'm more confused.


I'm looking for a 7 year old explanation.



Thank you!
