Computer, Heal Thyself

"... Teuscher is not interested in nature for its own sake. Rather
his passion for biology stems from his conviction that living
organisms are the stepping stones to a new era of computing -- one in
which circuits and chips will be self-healing and self-replicating.
...
"The BioWall constitutes a major step towards the creation of
intelligent, bio-inspired electronic tissues, capable of evolving,
self-repairing, self-replicating and learning. In its current form,
the BioWall surface combines the possibilities offered by the very
latest information technology with the most instinctive of human
gestures - touch.
The current BioWall is a mosaic of three thousand transparent
electronic modules. Each of them enables the visitor to communicate
with the surface simply by touching it with their finger, calculates
its new status and indicates it immediately on an electronic display.
This extraordinary ability is demonstrated through a number of
experiments."

Europe's New Air War
Why are US allies building their own global positioning system? Call
it a declaration of independence.
