Just a thought:
Instead of needing to have the IC processor chip (the heart of the IC) have connectors to get to larger wires which then connect outside the IC, why not just have chips within chips so there would be no need to waste space in the IC on wires connecting out? Could we not formulate a digital speaker, for example?
That being said, if this -waste of space- was not needed as above, could IC processor chips have used the entire space in the IC and had more processing power or memory? Wish I could post a drawing so this would be more understandable. I would appreciate any help you could give. Thank you.

probably a dumb question, but why is there a constraint on the size of a microchip? i understand that shrinking everything into the nano scale allowed for millions of resistors on a CPU. but why not just increase the size of the CPU as well? wouldn't that extra real estate effectively double the computing power of a CPU cause you can fit on even more resistors?

Is Silicon still as useful for electronics today? It's such an odd idea that one material has essentially vaulted us into a new age of electronics and continues to serve us as well as it did back then.
Also, if IC's were like legos for circuitry, I can see why most kids that play with legos become engineers. Kinda just a subtle connection, though.

I'm reading Steven Pinker's Enlightenment Now which demonstrates the world is getting better despite all the pessimism prevailing in the media and academia.
The fact that knowledge like this is virtually freely available verifies his claim.
Thank you for the great job Carry and the team!

Maybe try and build it just like we do our buildings. Add a second floor, and then a third, and then a fourth, etc. of course make your stairs so you can link them together. or maybe even an elevator. certainly, we know how to do this.

I don't get it why we keep trying to make IC's even smaller (smaller transistors) so that instead of a cm by a cm IC it will be smaller. why not make it 2 cm by 2 cm and be done with it? It's small enough as it is.

AMD got to 7 nanometers, That's crazy and in just two years, Of course Intel has upgraded its processors densities too, we're now at 14+++ I think.

Why so much history if the title implies to explain how things work. ?a bit confusing if one is looking for straight answers.

Amazing - I am not even studying toward engineering or sciences, but I understood what you meant, that is how good you are.

I usually watch videos like these at 2x speed. but there's so much info here I had to slow it down to. 75x to understand.
