Back in high school, a buddy of mine mused about something that still itches my brain.
When they built the first computer. How the fuck did they figure out how to "make it turn on"? Like... the first boot cycle.
Really makes you appreciate some of the insanely complex stuff that we take for granted.
I'm not really sure what you mean. The first computers didn't have an OS or anything. They just took the input and applied the assigned operation.
This gets more advanced when you want a BIOS loaded first, but it's not particularly complex. It does the same as above, but the first instructions jump to the BIOS, which itself is just another set of instructions that initialize things.
