What kind of bullshit is that? who gave us such technology?

It was me

Meanwhile we have been stuck using this for 51 years.

Go wonder

During the Napoleonic era, there was a man who performed mathematical analysis of heat conduction.
The world of science is sometimes mysterious.

most improvements between 1903 and 1940 was creating an aeronautical industry and taking advantage of car makers and their better engines.
After that point you have companies capable of researching, financing, manufacturing things far more complex than 2 dudes in their shed and failing most of the time. It just a matter of time and add time, money to use all the novel and exotic tech to use better materials that are harder to use as a simple new project.
The 1890 - 1930 period was people creating startups to produce crap, absurdness and not-so-crappy designs.

it's almost as if technology had physical limits

This part has a lot of truth but
>built with unlimited funding
This part is actually interestingly wrong anon. One of the amazing things about Skunkworks is how incredibly budget conscious they were and how well they hit their targets every time. The entire 1960 CIA A-12 program contract was for around $800 million in today's money. The SR-71 R&D to derive from that was cheap. The planes themselves were certainly not nothing at around $330m in today's money, but that still looks pretty decent vs modern bombers or even fighters given the performance and challenges they faced back then.

If you read the book on Skunkworks the whole attitude and efficiency is itself pretty awesome.

The threat of nuclear annihilation really lit a fire under people's asses. Now the USSR is long dead, everyone knows Russia is a joke, China isn't much better, and there's no true existential threat breathing down anyone's neck forcing them to make big technological leaps before the other guy does.

I still don't fully understand how microchips work. Literal black magic that the greys shared with us. I don't believe that we just developed that technology coming from vacuum tubes!!! Bullshit.

Area 51 and whatever bullshit happened there... they've been experimenting w/ tech like that for years. I'd say more, but I'm afraid it would become off-topic.

>>64010515
semiconductors came from like 50 years of every high tech company on the planet searching for something to replace vacuum tubes because they're huge, power hungry, fragile, and expensive

I think you know

Play factorio kinda works to understand how simple things can get complex and useful to accomplish higher order tasks.
The important thing is that once people discovered a few useful circuits (to make logic gates, memory cells, clocks) they could ensemble a "smart lock" that would do an specific depending on the "key" it receives and then proceeding to the next "key" (the order may be altered by an instruction).

It doesn't matter if it looks the same. It's about the invisible tech differences under the surface.

It's a bunch of really tiny light switches.

>>64010515
Learn how one transitor works. Then learn how an adder works. You're pretty much done at that point (for practical and conceptual purposes).

It's a bunch of light bulb switches or it might be better to think of them as car blinker relays, but electrical not physical. Combine it with memory parts, which you can think of as light switches that remember the "on" and "off" position you set them to. Now you have a circuit that can be told how to flip the light switches and pass/process digital data from one side to another.
With enough of these you can make a simple recursive circuit that can be told how numbers are defined, and add/subtract/multiply. With even more you can define words. Combine it, alot of times, and you can make a complex enough circuit that can stream egirls to your phone.

It all started with mechanical machines hundreds of years ago.
Computer chips are simply those machines turned into electrical.
Basically.
