Seriously though, thank you for this; my kids will learn from it. Knowing how many billions it takes to build a factory to make modern CPUs leaves me breathless, but somehow seeing an actual CPU chip reminds me of seeing a city from high altitude: all the invisibly minute stuff that does so much.

Semiconductor manufacturing is one of those things that I often think about (showerthoughts) that are so incredibly complicated that they perfectly serve as an example of how any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Then I think about that theory that if humanity suffered some sort of nearly complete civilisation destroying event that we'd likely never reach this level of advancement ever again...
I thought this was both funny and surprisingly informative, thought others on tildes would enjoy it :)
I kept waiting for the punchline because it was so short, and then I finished the video with my mind actually blown
Kudos for the find
