WHY NOT PROTONICS?????

Did any of you wonder why the term electronics came into existence?? Most of us, and by us I mean engineers who study the field of electronics in India do not know the exact meaning behind this term. Did anyone ever think that the proton which is also another charged particle can be responsible for conduction??.... Well, if that would have been the case then the term used today would be "protonics" rather than "electronics"... Don't rack your brains, I will let you know why exactly we use the term electronics.. The mass of a proton is approximately 1840 times higher than the mass of an electron.. This means that the inertia offered by the proton would be higher and the response time would thus result in a much higher value than that of the electron.. The rate at which we recieve images(frames/second) in a TV set would thus be much lower if we design the device to work under the conduction of a proton... Many such examples can be seen in your day to day life which will make you understand why electronics was coined.... The inability of the proton to conduct or move around as fast as the electron I suppose would be the best explanation for the reason behind the coining of this term... The heavy and inert protons can never hope to compete with the high speed of electrons- we all know that, the lighter the particle weighs the lesser will be its inertia....
