I think black cubes are just magical boxes
They take an input, magically produce an output
It seems those jew and muslim dudes praying with black cubes around are using them to get something in return of their prayers

>If ever a human invention were to be called magic, it would be computers. I've been using, building, fixing, programming, and studying computers since I was a little kid, and I'm still amazed that they work at all.

>I mean, I get the basic idea that the components are all 'black boxes' with documented interfaces, and inside those black boxes are more black boxes that connect together. Timing the signals with clocks allows components to communicate. Teams work on their own little black boxes, and then they connect them to make components that communicate along well-documented busses with the rest of the computer. I get it. I've seen the diagrams of how ICs work and how memory chips hold their bits. I understand in theory how computers were invented and how they work. I'm still amazed that it actually works, though.

>I'm still amazed by it. I'm amazed by how vast and complicated computer architecture really is.

>So the most 'computers are magic' statement I've heard is the one I just made: computers are the closest thing we have to magic.
