Eli5: How is the same size chip now able to carry so much more memory?
In: 6
Take a sheet of paper, and write a bunch of 1s and 0s on one line, try to make them big, and visible from a distance.
Then, flip it over, and write a bunch of 1s and 0s, try to make them as small as possible to fit more of them per line, and on the entire sheet.
And just like that, you did the same thing that computer scientists have been doing with computer memory since it got created.
