We live in a world powered by invisible forces—tiny components smaller than a grain of sand, etched into silicon, that enable everything from Netflix to navigation systems. But where did it all begin? And how did we get from Charles Babbage’s mechanical dreams to microchips with billions of transistors?In this episode, we take a deep dive into the remarkable evolution of computing, peeling back the layers of history, science, and engineering that led us to the microprocessor age.🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:
The origins of modern computing—from Babbage & Lovelace to ENIAC and Colossus
How transistors revolutionized electronics and made logic gates possible
What Moore’s Law really means and why it's slowing down
How microchips are manufactured with nanometer precision
The mind-bending scale of modern processors (over 100 billion transistors!)


🎤 Listener Hook:
 “How did we go from room-sized machines with a handful of fragile switches… to devices in your pocket with billions of transistors? Today we peel back the layers of silicon to see how we mass-produce the magic of modern computing.”
