Life of an If Statement

Life of an If Statement

The humble if statement: so simple, so short, so trivial. But do you know how it works? I mean, how it really works? Join us on a trip down the rabbit hole to find out! Our journey will take us from PHP to C, from Assembly to Machine code, from CPU to Transistor and beyond. We'll discover all sorts of interesting things you many never have known about programming, physics and even the universe itself... I can't promise that you'll return from the depths of the CPU, but if you do, you will not be the same.

Since I've seen you speak before, I know I'd learn a LOT from this talk, but can your abstract include some hints on what might be learned and why it might be useful? It sounds a bit ... academic at the moment and if I didn't know the speaker then there's a danger I might drift on elsewhere! A final paragraph about the intended audience and how their lives will change would be good here.
