About this listen
Well, according to Dr C… it just does! But perhaps we can go a little deeper than that. Personally, I suspect that there’s a tiny gremlin inside each device, with many, many fingers to do all those calculations. However, Lucas Casparis tells a different story. Lucas helps us to understand how calculators actually do calculations, and explains the magic of Moore’s law.
