Billiard-ball computer

Okay kiddo, so imagine playing with some billiard balls on a pool table. The computer scientists thought, "hey, what if we could make a computer out of these balls?"

They came up with an idea where each ball would represent a tiny bit of information, like a 1 or a 0. They created a special path for the balls to follow by placing them in rows and using a little machine to shoot them around.

When the balls hit each other, they move around and change their positions, like how a domino effect can knock over a line of dominoes. This interaction of the balls is what makes up the computing process.

Now, just like how we humans use language to communicate, these billiard balls also need a language to understand what to do. The scientists created a special code called "machine language" that the computer can understand and use to carry out tasks and solve problems.

So that's the basic idea of a billiard-ball computer, a computer made up of tiny balls that interact with each other to perform computing operations by following a specific path and using a special language. Cool, huh?
