425 bits....
This is a macro photo of a portion of a 4k bits core memory module I purchased on ebay a while back. (Yes, I'm in IT.) Core memory was strung together by hand - much like one would sew a sweater. By the early 1970s core memory was replaced by transistors and similar technology. I've always considered core memory interesting as you can actually see each memory bit - the circular toroid at the intersection of many of the wires. The 4k bit module is about 6 inches (about 15 cm) square. Oh, shot with a Nikon Z7ii with a 128GB memory module many are familar with - many times smaller and about the same weight. Amazing what 50 years of technological advancement can do.
Visually I like the color of the wires vary as the light refracts. I'm assuming the insulator is responsible for some (maybe all) of the color change.
Regardless, these challenges are fun ...
4kbit is about 0.5kbyte right? So 0.0005 Mb or 0,0000005 Gb. And the SD card in your camera is 128 Gb :D Indeed, some technological advancement. Interesting photo, also because I'm interested in the technology as well (electrical engineering background :)
@ronaldsmeets - my degree is in Electrical Engineering ... but moved over into software development. I have both old cameras and old computer gear. None of the old stuff works, but it is pretty interesting old tech.
Fireworks in my neighborhood against the power lines, looks like they're short circuiting! Haha I did the shot handheld, hence the jagged appearance of the fireworks

Hopefully the electrician in Hyderabad/India knows where to start the search in case of an error :)

Big Apple can't be omitted, if we show pictures about electric. It's always an impressive skyline, if you look at Manhattan by night.

This animal has no fear about electric. And yes - it still moved (slowly).
