Silicon [dirt = SILICON] never goes extinct.* That stuff is
  amazing.* Seals leaky drafts, makes our skin waterproof, we walk
  on it everywhere and it's it's like mixing RUBBER and COPPER
  together to make an insulating-conducting wonky weird substance
  that we're basing our computers on. So yeah, we need dirt for
  the Internet.* Simple. Oh, and Windows are made of it too.* One
  we see through, the other runs on modified dirt.
