"It’s a problem of designing language to communicate ideas to machines. But unfortunately we don’t know what ideas are, so we don’t know how to do it." Richard Hamming, Learning to Learn, 1995.

how old are transistors?

The first patent was in 1926, first working device in 1947, photolithography process in 1952.. You can build a logic gate from electromechanical relays if you are desperate and those are from 1833.

right, not even a century yet for silicon. Give it a timescale of nearly any civilizational or worse, evolutionary staple and it becomes kind of obvious how radically computers have outperformed anything else so far, save for perhaps experimental precision in theoretical physics.

Computers benefit from their unusual property that the theoretical lower bound of the energy required to process a bit is so small it might as well be zero. Advances in autonomous robots might have totally different scaling properties.
