You know those tech chips (which might not even be chips, but to my uneducated eye look like chips).

Before circuit boards were a thing, designers had to scramble wires together in a big ugly mess. I don’t have all the details of this organization, but imagine a bunch of tangled up wires, capacitors, etc. Circuit boards not only rid of those messy wires, but they’re super compact, which allowed computers back then to shrink down (along with other inventions like the silicon transistor).

Edit2: With Circuit boards came cheaper computers, which meant they could be mass produced and sold to consumers. Paving the way for today’s computers and even the Internet and the www.
