The Truth About Physical Computing
Transistors are the building blocks of computers! In the “Going Further” section of Chapter 8, there is a delightful discovery to be made: transistors can trigger other transistors! We can use this incredible property and use transistors to build logic gates (the same kinds of logic gates that we learned about all way back in Chapter 6).
Logic gates do simple tasks in logic by blocking or allowing the flow of electricity. The fact that transistors can trigger other transistors means we can chain ...
