I was just writing about a concept for a transpolitics blogocracy in
which nomothetic and diplomacy-based referendums for voting on issues
would be developed through pervasive computing environments. The
ubiquitous environment would produce rapid multi-cultural communications.
Open communications produces broader understanding and cooperation
through online politics.<br><br>
Completely new computing structures like molecular logic gates may lead
to another quantum leap in computing power. These technologies could
replaceat least in partsilicon-based computers, and help to give
intelligence to everyday items. In addition, the human interface to
computers could merge with the environment with the help of smart
materials.<br><br>

Very interesting post, Natasha. :)
It's got me wondering if there might not be naturally
occuring logic gates operating on the surface of
cells. Such would explain some aspects of the
phenotypic complexity of multicellular organisms.
And implications for Moore's Law are self-evident.
