A single-panel comic. A woman in a sweater stands at a podium holding a tablet, lecturing confidently. She says: "Thus, we can predict with high confidence that in the year 1871, a single transistor was large enough to cover the entire Earth, blotting out the sky. Miniaturization may explain the increase in global temperature that began in 1910." A caption beneath reads: "How come nobody ever projects Moore's Law backwards?" The joke runs Moore's Law in reverse, absurdly concluding that older transistors were planet-sized. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn small figure emits a speech bubble reading: "The Big Bang is impossible because you only have to go back a short while before all is transistors," extending the gag to claim the universe began as transistors.
