All that complexity, and he completely omitted entire feedback stack. Browser > OS Kernel > Video card > DVI > Monitor. This is simple version without sub pixel rendering and dozen of other technologies that are likely there. Throughout something that seems so simple - type a character and see it on screen, 20+ incredibly complex microchips and at least 4 different high performance communication links were utilized.
I am not trying to harp on him, the article is excellent. I am just pointing out that there is entire another stack of technologies that he chose to gloss over in order to make article readable.
