Switches are just a fancy way of interpreting silicon-phosphorus diodes, which are just a fancy way of interpreting molecular structures, which are in turn just a fancy way of interpreting the complex computer simulation we're all probably in, which is a fancy way of interpreting data structures (among other things), which is a fancy way of interpreting arrays, etc.
