For decades, the electronics industry has advanced by making devices smaller and more powerful. From laptops to smartphones and wearable gadgets, this progress has relied on shrinking transistors, the tiny switches that control electrical signals, while increasing processing speed.

What started out as a scary situation was turned into proud moments, with people sharing their amazing success and journey of making their own bread from A to Z on social media. The pandemic strengthened the idea that learning new skills does not always require a traditional classroom or a face-to-face-instructor.
