Just saw on r/todayIlearned that the MOS transistor (or MOSFET) is the most produced piece of technology ever. I then looked it up on Wikipedia to try and understand what it is/does and I’m still totally lost. ELI5?
In: Technology
It is a tiny electronic switch without moving parts.
With switches you have on/off or 1/0 which can be used to generate numbers and do math (true or false logic) in binary, similiar to how redstone in Minecraft works.
Any non-purely analgue device, from your computer to your coffee machine works because of billions of these switches doing math.
