So now you can see that algorithms are just mathematical formulas.

For every action you perform on your computer there is a lot going on, tens of millions of calculations.

What has made this possible?

Miniaturisation, doing the same job but in a smaller space. If we used the same technology as we used back in the 50's then your computer would revert back to a building, but with the same functionality of today's computers.

Thank jiminy we don't have to carry a building in our bag is all I can say.

Maybe now you can appreciate how much work our computers do. Millions of calculations go into a few actions on the net.
