"Integrated circuits, how to use them. Well, when you have this componentry, you know we were talking before We have a couple of components here, we have a resistor, we have a diode, specifically an LED one and we have capacitors and other things you could take it, a circuit that is all designed up and you can put it into an integrated circuit. You would, there is a process the manufacturers have to do that, but your computer chip for instances has millions of transistors in them and so the integrated circuit will have functions and designs for two work for a particular purpose and then they have pins that come out of the case and on those pins you go ahead and connect a power, an input signal, output signal, whatever the chip is designed for. So, integrated circuit effectively can be placed a few dozen components to millions of components that you would separately connect such a huge time savings."
