Resistors do a lot of Useful Things!
 Voltage to Current Convertor 
 When driving the input (base) of a transistor gain stage: you must convert the input voltage to a 
current by using a voltage to current convertor 
--a resistor
Current to Voltage Convertor
When deriving a voltage from the collector of a transistor amplifier stage: you convert the output (collector) current into a voltage by using a Current to Voltage convertor in the collector circuit--you  guessed it--a resistor
