  • @MitchAndo96 each number is converted into a binery i.e. 01011, on the chip these are recorded on switches like transisters which are either off or on. 0 would be no volts and 1 would be 5 volts. there is a program that tells the chip how to understand these codes and what to do with them.

  • This video is a favorite on Andorra

  • YES! I KNOW, but how does a little piece of metal with little transistors inside it do calculations (even like, 2+2?) how does that work????

  • I like it.

  • @IntrepidMoocher wow... the good days haha :)
