its stuff like this
Intel's next generation of chip, for example will pack more than four hundred million transistors into an area the size of a postage stamp.
that I find hard to visualise -
yeah ok you cant - but you know what I mean :D

One of those truly ground-breaking inventions. Absolutely amazing at the time, and well-deserving of the Nobel prize.

Kitz,
You would be hard pressed just to write:
"400,000,000,000"
on a postage stamp. :D
Just bought a book of 1st class stamps today and, at the price of them, I will not deface one just to try. :lol:

There are some amazingly clever people in the world, I don't consider myself stupid but my brain couldn't even comprehend how a CPU works, how people build something that enables us to do all this stuff from a bunch of transistors!!!!
Incredible!
