Amazing, but what's so scary? I don't understand how phones work or how the electricity gets down the wires to my house either and I don't need to know.
If you want to know how computers were created and then modified use your computer to google the history, there's nothing scary about it although how some people use computers is VERY scary
there really isnt anything mechanical in a computer, except for the Keys, buttons, and the CPU fans, the rest is electronic.
Its really hard to explain how it all works, and there is alot about computers I still don't know, despite working with them and studying about them for years.
At the very basic level, Binary is a series of On(1) and off (0) commands for each bit of data, that the computer translates into what we see.
Same here - I know a lot of things about computers, but I'm not very financially-savvy when it comes to picking parts for building a PC (I am the person that would probably go all out given that I have enough money - even as to go so far to build a chassis from scratch), understand the intricacies of what goes behind the hood in regards to networking (other than the basic stuff), or the best security practices for securing passwords/keys (I learn to code as a hobby - primarily Python as of now).
