Question IRS? what is it really?

Your common, every day IRS. i'm sure those of you who operate an aircraft using these handy little navigation aids all know what they do in some sense.

i remember a while back being taught what they are made up of, kind of. but as time has gone by i have taken this little wonders of aviation for granted.

i vaguely remember something about lasers, gyros, tilting mechanical tables or i'm i talking rubbish...?
i mean, i just know they do the job requierd but would like to know more.

replies appreciated and pardon my stupidity
