What is the tiniest computer?

Well, kiddo, the smallest computer in the world is so tiny that it could make a grain of rice look like a giant! It's called the "Michigan Micro Mote" and it's smaller than a grain of rice. It was made by some very clever people at the University of Michigan. This teeny-weeny computer can do things like take pictures, read temperatures, and even record pressure or motion.

But here's something funny to think about: this little computer is so small you could accidentally inhale it if you're not careful! So remember, computers are for using, not for eating or breathing!

Just imagine trying to find the 'on' button on this tiny thing! You'd probably need a microscope... and even then you might press the wrong button and end up ordering 500 pizzas instead!

So next time when someone says "smaller is better," remember our little friend, the Michigan Micro Mote. But also remember - while it may be super small, it's also super powerful!
