Abstract

[Introduction] "There are seven billion transistors on a single computer chip - as many transistors as there are people on earth. And unlike people, every one of them works." I laughed at my professor's remark. He was genuinely a great lecturer, and watching him perform and articulate about the little miracle in his hand as he waved his phone around didn't feel like a lecture. After class ended, I filed out with the rest of the class and marched up the stairs, from the basement lecture hall, and back to the realm where the sun shone. The sun, and cell signal. Pausing briefly, I milled around by the door and flipped through my texts. Around me, two other students did the same.
