In a very hypothetical sense, it is estimated that more transistors are produced each day world-wide than the total number of wheels ever made (defining wheels as anything round designed to spin for some mechanical reason, so like gears and stuff count) since man's presumed invention. Again, very hypothetical, but the point is that there are a mind-boggling number of transistors (most contained within silicon microchips) being produced on a daily basis.
