Lets get down to the nitty gritty.

So... I am now working on a powerpoint project that talks about the history of microchips of which I keep call microSHIPS, and their affect on computers throughout history...
So far so interesting, learning about the switch between vacuum tubes and transistors to microchips... doing more with less.
Being a graphic designer you'd think I would know everything about a computer... BUT I DON'T, actually I know the minimum, that is why I am so excited about this, to learn some aspects of how a computer even works haha! PRAY FOR ME :)
I used to think a microchip stored memory, NOW I know that they are simply the brains in the operation of a computer!
See already learning and I just started.
So to keep everyone updated I will continue to let you know what I am learning. Believe it or not I find this stuff so incredibly interesting, someone so technologically slow, I am finding my passion to be more and more the more I get to know my stuff!
How computers work
What they are made of
Why its a million times easier to work on one rather than hand drawing everything! :)
It's all beneficial to the final product... which is a happy career!
