this is pretty good, especially if you understand anything about how semiconductors work

see there used to just be conductors and insulators - a binary (as was accepted at the time)

then some people realized you could violate the binary to create new kinds of circuits and something called semiconductors that had properties of both insulators and conductors and could change between them

this led to all kinds of new possibilities that eventually gave rise to new functional circuits like logic gates and memory cells (flip flops) by wiring these circuits together in ways that had previously been considered impossible
