What your computer does while you wait.

This is an interesting article- not much of it is new to me but the analogies are pretty cool. The dude doesn't explain why we need clock cycles or the differences between dynamic(he briefly mentions capacitors though) and static ram and why that's relevant in digital circuitry and how it affects performance. You will just have to forgive him for that faux pas.

I think most people don't care how their computer works.

Anyways, here is the article:
