I often think about where technologies come from—not just the tools themselves, but the historical context that shaped them. Modern computing feels almost impossibly dense: billions of transistors packed into a single chip, systems too complex for any one person to fully understand, and insights pulled from datasets too large to hold in the mind. It’s hard to believe the original inventors imagined any of this. But as I studied major computing milestones, I noticed something unexpected. The biggest leaps didn’t just come from invention—they came from making the information teachable.
