[ExI] Sick of Cyberspace?

[Natasha Vita-More]

Yes, of course.  Hello folks!

Now, getting back to the issue - the fact that machines are becoming
chemical is the area. The organic machine has been used metaphorically for
quite some time.  How do you see a machine being injected with biochemistry?
You are correct with biochips, which uses bits of DNA as an outreach agent.
The microchip is made from macromolecules instead of semiconductor, but
doesn't it also use silicon?  Which is it? But this is more of what I was
looking for. Thanks.   Long way from the cybernetic connectivity of
cyberspace, but I suppose if the brain's matter which houses personal
identity could be secreted onto a microchip ...
And then this gets into Anders' area, and we are back to whole brain
emulation but from a different set of media.

"chemical" and "organic" at an even >faster pace (carbon rather than steel
and silicon, biochips, nano...).
