Nature uses simple genetic codes of ATCG to write up life in all of its forms, from animals to plants to bacteria & fungi & viruses. Computer IO happens on mineral logic gates assembled into systems called integrated circuits or "chips", these transistor systems have transformed nearly all aspects of the global economy all the way down to the way people think after interacting with their smartphones for a while! I give labeled links to YouTube videos where you can learn about the history & science & working principles of computer information processing. Enjoy learning more! Think, Transistors are like people, its how they are connected that makes the difference //
Also known as Von Neumann data handling by representing all information as strings of 1 & 0 in binary forms that can be executed across CPU & Memory made of CMOS transistors systems of lithography chemical deposition using photo resist "UV" resin masks to make layers of logic transistors connected with metals interconnects, like a multi materials 3D printing of sorts, more similar to chemical vapor deposition onto large silicon wafer slices cut from an enormous high purity single crystal of silicon grown in a rotary extraction furnace at high temperatures, this kind of common CHIP construction produces stiff mineral logic that can be cycled with clock speeds approaching 5 GHz, while lacking the fluid plastic self assembling soft flesh brain neuron computer adaptive burst analog parallel threading information handling of the human brain & brains of other animals & insets that also self assemble from genetic code & biomolecules form natural environments of Earth's biosphere.
New Mind a YouTube channel explores this topic of how computers became a big part of life on Earth & the history of computer science including how computer chips work & how we made it from an era of expensive vacuum tube computers the size of a building that costs as much & required a commercial electrical connection to perform 5000 operations per seconds while a modern CPU like the Intel I9 can perform 80,000,000,000 operations per second using only a few hundred waters inside a computer that can easily fit under most desks, the size of several shoe boxes // Have a watch & enjoy learning more

We live in an amazing era of compute where online giants like Amazon leverage this technology in E-commerce while smart watches & smart phones are increasingly common. You can watch another channel called Branch Education to learn even more about how our Digital consumer electronics actually work & its amazing!

These videos are great primers for students of any age looking to get into coding, computer science, software development, hardware design, electronics design, electrical engineering, chemical engineering or data sciences. I think anyone can watch these videos to gain as sense of awe & deeper appreciation & understanding of how computers actually work since compute such an increasing component of daily life for billions of people at the same time
