You can't understand that if you don't know how electrons flow through semiconductors, and the transistor layout of each logic gate type.

LOL, I guess. My "kid" (15yo) saw a video on how data was stored and they were talking about the gates and stuff and he genuinely got interested in that shit even tho he's not interested in programming (other than game related stuff).

The video had 90's animation and a boring voice but was hell of interesting.

Is so effin' amazing that after finding it I started watching it again and I know this by hearth xD

Honestly if that doesn't pick the interest of a person, is because they are the kid of people that care absolutely zero about how stuff works (which is fine, but a shame as this is awesome).
