> we are able to make the rock calculate

I'm so tired of this cliche...

a CPU is a rock about as much as much as an airplane is a rock (aluminium ore), "look, we are able to make rocks fly on their own power, isn't that awesome?"

people using it think they are impressing the normies, but it just shows them being condescending "of course I dont believe rocks calculate, but I assume you are so stupid and know so little that you might actually believe me and be impressed by my people"

Hi, I understand your point. But my intention was just to create a sense of wonder that we have manipulated an inanimate thing to do useful things for us. I have only used it in the intro. In the rest of the article, i am only talking about actual ideas and concepts.

You've completely missed the point of how silicon chips are organized rock, and have completely invented and projected a condescending view that no one actually intends.
