Why RAM Just Became the Most Expensive Chip on Earth?

RAM used to be the cheapest part of any computer. Now it might be the most expensive — and almost nobody knows why. This is the story of how humanity invented a memory that thinks in microseconds: from magnetized rings threaded by hand, to a single silicon chip holding billions of switches, to a hidden security flaw that lets attackers break into a computer using nothing but physics. And why, right now, an AI-driven chip shortage is making it more expensive than it's ever been. 00:00 Why RAM suddenly costs a fortune 01:11 Computing before memory existed 02:23 The invention of random-access memory 03:57 The 1-transistor idea that changed everything 05:54 RAM enters your home 06:47 The DDR era explained 07:35 How RAM actually works 08:50 The hidden vulnerability inside every chip 10:17 The invisible machine behind the AI boom 11:37 The machine that forgets on purpose If you've ever wondered what's actually inside your computer, this one's for you. #RAM #ComputerScience #History #HowItWorks #Technology
