    I mean the basic principles are very simple.

    It’s the scaling and the speed of it all that you can’t really understanding. Also all the hackneyed unoptimized solutions that hold it all together that we’re totally dependent on to this day.

      The very basic principles of 1 and 0 and using them to make logic gates is easy enough to understand. Its somewhere between doing that and getting hundreds of millions of them in a space smaller than your fingernail to all work at exactly the right way to send a specific series of them to space and back in a way that cant be interpreted by anyone but the intended recipient and then translate that information to a picture of someones dick that the confusion starts up.
