and this from the what I wrote for the podcast : The growth in our computing capacity is incredible. Our typical personal computers today - even our phones, are equivalent or better than the institutional supercomputers of the past. Much of this has to do with the size of transistors getting smaller and more and more transistors being added to computers. In the past transistors in computers were in the range of centimeters in size and could be seen in my hand across the room. Now they are at the nanometer scale- so they are microscopic (similar to the size of proteins in cells). Computers went from having a thousand transistors to having millions to billions. This enables them to work with much larger files. |
