We're not exactly sure what makes these virus transistors so special, but apparently the transistors they've built out of the nano-coated strands, and sandwiched between two electrodes, are easy to switch between ON and OFF states, since they don't need to build up a charge at a lame-o capacitor before they can be switched.

Her Hedda has a doll-like beauty and a smile that she turns on and off like a switch.
Software might be able to offer a good on-screen volume control option and it might be able to mitigate the off switch problem a little, but not enough to keep either issues from being extremely annoying.
