From Flipflops to the Full Computing Power
When I first learned about computers, I thought they were magical machines. After all, how could something so small store photos, music, videos, and games? It felt almost impossible. But the truth is surprisingly simple. At the heart of every computer lies something tiny, yet powerful. It’s called a Flipflop. In this post, I’ll take you on a journey. I’ll show you how a Flipflop stores just one bit. Then I’ll explain how billions of these tiny components work together to deliver the full computing power we rely on every day. Along the way, I’ll use practical examples to make everything clear.
