    I don’t think it can be done by a village of 300 people

    These things take an order of magnitude more companies today to build. Not only could 300 people not build the board inside one of the machines used for manufacturing, but 300 companies of hundreds to thousands of employees couldn’t either. Each component is usually created by one company that specializes in that specific component and only that component because of how complex these things are to manufacture individually.

    For that to work, you’d need villages to specialize in what they produce and export, but then this leads to a completely different kind of society than what you two are discussing here.
