< an article> Reminds me of a show I watched in Ontario....seems that (according to Moore's Law <Theorum?>) computers double in speed every 18 months, so..... theoretically then, by the year 2020 the speed that a computer can communicate will match that of Human Neurons communicating with each other in a brain. So? Well, in the case of a stroke or whatever, one might be able to replace pieces of the brain with chips. Now that begs the question....if people start getting slices of their brain replaced as well as (most likely) pieces of their body with mechanical limbs and so forth, when does a person become not human? Or, when does a computer become human? Put that in yer Gestalt and smoke it!
