This seems like it belongs here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2OJFqs8bUk a girl muses on what would happen if humanity lost the ability to make microchips. How would computing survive?

Oh yes, LaurieWired is one of my favorite YouTubers. She's very good at presenting and also highly regarded in the reverse engineering/vulnerability discovery community professionally. :)

Interesting apocolypse scenario. My spouse and I were chatting about the same thing just last week. Thanks for sharing!

there are one instruction computers, so one has to implement a cpu that only can have one instruction and that's enough for computing.

but alas the programs become too fat this way.

and we may use relays. those are easy to do, we need lots of wires and empty big spaces.
