Can someone please explain to me how modern computers will die? I don't see how solid state electronics will break, will they eventually rust in 100 years or something?
- febusravenga 3y agoNot my area, but at least "big" electronics will probably die because of whiskers that grow until you've got raandom shorts in circuits. Not sure if integrated circuitry suffers from this or other similar phenomenon to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisker_(metallurgy) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisker_(metallurgy)
