That’s more than your mom.
The archaeologists 1000 years from now are going to be so confused.
And the average lifespan of a cat, listed on the cat article of wikipedia, is 13 years. Coincidence?
And on 1 transistor there are 3 pins. When you put 1 and 3 together you get 13. Coincidence?! I think not!
Aha! I knew there was a coincidence somewhere! You tracked it down!
Stupid sexy transistors
Great! Now that you’ve said that, republicans are going to try to outlaw transistors. Or, at the very least, round them up and try to “fix” them into basic resistors.
Oh my, all my Trans Sisters!!
Breaking news: trans women now outnumber every other demographic and most other animal species on the planet. Ikea has discontinued all products except Blåhaj yet is still unable to keep up with demand. On the plus side though, average computer literacy is now at a record high

Sextillion: 10³⁶
It’s actually 1021, short scale sextillions.
Invented December 23, 1947, therefore, on average, we made a danged lot of them every year since.
Would love to see a graph, the annual amount probably increased exponentially.
I would guess a doubling period of roughly every 12-24 months. Actually probably much shorter since that would be same number of chips/year.
Hey, I only have one mom!
But how many sisters do you have that were AMAB?
I’ve got 3 AMAB siblings but they really don’t like it when I call them sister.
Have you tried three snaps in their face in a Z-pattern afterward?

That’s what they tell you to hide the bees.
I knew it! Just like how they used to tell us that the little men inside our CRT TVs was just an electron beam.
One iPhone has about 8 billion transistors in it, so makes sense
13 sextillion transistors is about 1625 billion transistors per human, though - or just over 200 iPhones’ worth of transistors per person. That’s still about an order of magnitude higher than I’d have guessed.
The numbers are totally off though.
A current-gen iPhone SoC (or CPU, the sources are not very clear), nhas about 19 billion transistors. That does not include transistors from flash memory. Following the numbers it does also not include RAM.
IPhone transistor count becomes completely irrelevant when you start looking at flash chips. Even a 16GB flash drive can contain 64 billion transistors.
A modern data center GPU has 100 billion or more, and think of all the infrastructure and household devices that have microchips in them as well
