"What happens when you type www.google.com in your browser bar
and
hit enter?" is one of my favorite questions. Half the field of computing happens next. Keyboard interrupts fire. Bits are poked in dram, sram, maybe even tcam. Packets are sent. Fonts are composed into pixels. There's a crazy amount you can talk about and the right answer is: string things together in order for 5 or 10 minutes without getting anything horribly wrong.
The question is vague enough for the candidate to start talking just about anything they like. What happens where? In the world? In the universe? In my body? Depending on the position you're hiring for you may want to include the "where" as well to narrow down the scope of the talk (to say "finger tips" if you hire a brain surgeon or 2020 laureate of Kavli Prize for Neuroscience for discover of pressure receptors, or simply to "network" if hiring network engineer, etc...).
You know what job you're interviewing for. What you choose to talk about tells me volumes about how you think. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
