So i was just reading about some electronics..and just realised computers were possible only because one crooked mind thought what would happen if i give the output of a gate to itself ?

I know there may be some explanations.. But flip flops are memory right ?

    Don't forget how turing came with the idea to bruteforce the german codes by using mechanical machine

    Yeah. But FFs arent the only way to achieve memory, we have DRAMs that use capacitors. Plus remember computers aren't about memory alone.We have ALUs etc.

    @bdhobare I know .. But the basis of everything now , was the thing that enabled it to remember things that it did.. and DRAMs are a recent thing..It is just a low cost emulation of SRAMs . What role does an ALU play if it cant remember what it did before ?
