Artist impressions of electronics are often hilarious. Trace routings
are the instant giveaway; they make no sense.

I don't understand why people pay for absurd stock images when they
could use a real picture of one of their real boards. Probably because
they hire web designers who can't tell the difference.

Our new web site had that problem, full of absurd stock images. I made
them use pics of real boards and schematics.

That first image is a digital delay generator board. Maybe we DO buy
FPGAs with glowing blue stars on top. I think someone took some
artistic license, but it's based on a real board.

Abstract images of PCBs are the popular-culture vision of technology.
Weird.
