- What tiny invention made out of sand operates the entire modern world? From toys to intercontinental rockets, it’s found in the mundane and the cutting edge. In this episode of Johan Norberg’s New and Improved, Norberg presents the story of the microchip.
The first digital computers were as big as living rooms and required piles of wire and a massive power source. With the advent of the integrated circuit, the microchip’s innovative design eliminated the need for wires, freeing them to become more powerful and compact.
As the manufacturing cost of microchips decreased, continuous innovation saw engineers doubling the number of transistors with every chip generation. Early chips were marvels for using more than two transistors. Today, an average chip may contain 76 billion.

Great video!
Just a small correction: The first silicon monolithic IC was actually invented by Robert Noyce.
This is a fun intro
I’m a big fan of microchips 😂
Interesting to see these back. Strangely poor video quality though.
Looks fine for me. Check your settings for video quality.
moores law is kinda shaky but nice explaination video!
What happend
I don't understand😂
Dragons don't hort brain power
And you should thank your government for funding such big infrastructure projects and R&D that are being done in Pentagon and MIT that lead to inventions such as internet,computers,microchips and other technologies that changed our world.
Do you think they created those thing for benevolent causes?
