Modern processors and computer components use silicone. Older processors such as the 80486 and Pentium used ceramic on the original chips, and switched to silicone.

What translates the analog information into binary code so that the processor can understand what you want?

The programming language. Each programming language except for binary has a translator built in that translates into binary. Some programs also have their own creators built in and from there the program is translated and its pretty much an endless stream of translation until you get to the processor.


How did silicon chips change the way you compute?

Not at all, except for the first few computers I used (which were built with discrete germanium transistors) every machine I used was built using silicon chips. If the first computer you used was in the 1980s or later, you probably never saw a machine that wasn't entirely silicon chips. Even the germanium transistor machines ran about the same as modern computers, except the I/O which was usually very mechanical.
