Like they don’t have moving parts, or do they? How does it decide where to send current based on the other currents/inputs etc coming in?

1 and 0. When there is electricity it is 1, when there isn’t, it’s 0. Same with RAM, that’s how everything moves information around. Hard disks store information on the same basis (sectors wear off, because they get magnetised too much), when it is magnetised at the specific sector, it is 1 and when it’s not, it’s 0. SSDs are kinda the same as RAM, but they store the information permanently (sectors wear off when they get overwritten a lot of times and its life comes to an end at some point) by charging a sector and discharging it. When charged, it’s 1, when not, it’s 0. RAM is the same, but not permanently. GPU and CPU both calculate information which is based on charged and discharged transistors afaik. The difference is the algorithm in which both processing units calculate. This is what I’ve understood so far about how computers work and I’m open to friendly suggestions and corrections even if that means this whole thing I explained is shit.
