God Exists!

First off I would like to point out that as the co-founder of Something Kinda Techy, it is great to see that we have readers other than our mothers. Thanks Threethirty and Pegwole for keeping our idea alive. It's truly a miracle to see it still being updated daily.

I have had a lot of time to think about technology. I have been trying to reverse engineer in my head how some of the most taken for granted items would work and all i can think of is "Magic". Starting now, for the next seven days I am going to be talking about technological miracles. Note that these are to praise the geniuses behind the items we live with, they are not meant to be undermined.

The first miracle I'm going to talk about is a CRT monitor. I have spent about a week and a half trying to figure out how they work. I know that the electron guns shoot colors onto the inside of the CRT, I'm ok with that, but there's so much more to making a TV then to shoot a color at a screen. The idea of assigning a position to all the electrons on the screen just boggles my mind. Then make them switch positions on the screen is just amazing.
