Anyone who has ever been asked to spin a convincing argument from difficult material will appreciate the glassblowers' unbelievable skill in crafting plants from silicon.

The computer performs dozens of intermediate design stages of circuit schematics, board layouts and even the chips themselves. Then other computers actually build and assemble these components into working systems. The tasks...
