I recently saw a video that showed how the lightbulbs led to the invention of transistors, can't remember the title or channel, but it was really interesting.
Seems that starting with 1800's early electric technology makes it much easier to understand current, super miniaturized and specialized tech
Oh hey, I think I've seen the video you're talking about (and also can't remember the channel). Super interesting for sure.
I've always wanted to know how to create a simple computer entirely from scratch (in case of a time machine situation), but creating even a crude transistor from scratch is actually really hard, it turns out.
