Domino Domino logic

Nice video from Neil Fraser that uses domino to simulate logic gates (OR, AND and XOR gates out of dominoes, replacement for TTL and CMOS.)

That is an extremely clever way of describing logic gates. Especially for visual learners like myself, this sinks in better than dry theory.

I see the demonstration of simple logic gates, but please explain where the video addresses the differences between CMOS and TTL. Perhaps I'm just not seeing it clearly.
