Yes, of course. Hello folks!<br>
<br>
Now, getting back to the issue - the fact that machines are becoming<br>
chemical is the area. The organic machine has been used metaphorically for<br>
quite some time. How do you see a machine being injected with biochemistry?<br>
You are correct with biochips, which uses bits of DNA as an outreach agent.<br>
The microchip is made from macromolecules instead of semiconductor, but<br>
doesn't it also use silicon? Which is it? But this is more of what I was<br>
looking for. Thanks. Long way from the cybernetic connectivity of<br>
cyberspace, but I suppose if the brain's matter which houses personal<br>
identity could be secreted onto a microchip ...<br>
And then this gets into Anders' area, and we are back to whole brain<br>
emulation but from a different set of media.<br></blockquote></div><br>OLED are now available in consumer HD TVs. That's a considerable step to putting organics to use in a domain that had previously only been done with LCD (chemistry?) and Plasma/CRT (physics?).<br>
<br>I would also like to see more articles on DNA origami:<br><a href="http://www.blog.speculist.com/archives/001864.html">http://www.blog.speculist.com/archives/001864.html</a><br><br>A Sierpinski gasket made of DNA? "That's Crazy!" (crazy awesome)<br>
