At some point in the process we need to go organic. An ant has the equivilent of twenty thousand transistors in its body yet is able to function in the real world. A standard digital watch has 1000 times that many but can only tell you the time, and even then it needs input from the owner to establish a base line to work against. A new born baby is orders of magnitude smarter than every computer on this planet combined but cannot speak, see, walk or any of the things it will learn during its life time. If you create an organic computer with the ability to KNOW what a question means, it gives it the ability to supply the answer in a way anyone will INSTINCTIVLY understand. You can build networks that act like communities, and will want to involve you in its activities. In other words a computer that aims to please.Which would make a nice change.
