We already have redstone, a simple conductor that emits light and can be used as a sort of "battery" in several recipes. Redstone is rare enough to be ommited by those who've just started the game, but appears frequent enough to be collected to extent.
Redstone, however, isn't capable of producing simple gates by itself, and is uncapable of producing circuitry that might be apprieciated by those with the time and leisure to do so.
Let me be the first to introduce you to GreenStone! GreenStone is very much the same respects to Redstone with a few slight differences.
For a demonstration, let < > =
Where = Redstone/GreenStone dust, = Repeater, and = the Battery itself.
also, for purposes of demonstration, let = an electric device.
Let us look at an RGR gate.
[] []
In this case, The Redstone would only activate the device if and only if the greenstone is lit.
Whereas in an GRG gate:
[] []
Would only allow current through if the Redstone is off.
By usage of such gates, calculators, advanced traps, and other circuits could be created. Huge amounts of new ideas can pop in. Creativity would boost up another level.
Bluestone has way better explanations and more thought put into it. Look at it.

The next time an authority asks me, "What could possibly have given you such a lack of respect for the value of human life?" I will respond, "Sir, have you even BEEN to the internet?"

Step 1. Copy-Paste Redstone Programming
Step 2. Change name and color
Step 3. Add interactions between Redstone and Greenstone
and PRESTO! you have greenstone!

Check the wiki.
eg. AND, NOT, OR, XOR, XNOR, NAND, NOR, pulsers, and various laches and flip-flops can be made.
Check youtube.
eg. Conway's Game of Life, calculators, tic-tac-toe, pong, covers of songs, and tewnty-four hour clocks.
Link to it then.
