In the future, I believe that super computers will be based on electrical AND chemical materials. These scientist, having learned how the firefly uses nitric oxide as a switch (a fast one at that)may be part of the key to unlocking the most powerful computer in existance, the human brain. Sure, modern computers can do calculations faster than a human, but is that so. Modern computers cannot reason nor do they have emotions. I believe that the human brain performs functions electrically and chemicly, but more important, the software, the programs, the source code itself are entirely chemical. When we learn how to code with chemical properties to control complex electro/chemical processors, then we will have our next great leap in computer science.
To know is knowledge...to apply is wisdom.
