Not only the fantastic graphics that we've seen, but to even recognize that musicians these days have a stage filled with computers as part of their performance was to me very surprising. I want to reduce the essence of computers down to their smallest working part. For the purpose of talking about a resource. A resource that may be useful for increasing the speed of computers. And one which interestingly is not used today. It's a resource that lives inside of atoms and it's one that we hope to develop as time goes on. This picture is the working part of every computer. It's the transistor. It's made...
