Computers (S04E18)
S04E18
Featuring special guest Mick H, this episode explores the omnipresence of computers in our lives. From cars to televisions, they are everywhere, and you're using one right now! Humans utilize computers to gather data—images, text, numbers, and sounds—and convert them into electrical signals. This information is transformed into a series of electrical “on” and “off” patterns. Computers are engineered to recognize these distinct patterns, allowing them to process and modify the data you provide. In mere milliseconds, they return this information in an understandable format, showcasing the incredible speed of electricity behind their operations.
