true for now its all theory but i recall a time when captain kurk in startrek had a communicator ,we all laughed back then caause we had the old rotary phone lol.in the 90s they came with that communicator ,they called it a cellphone and the rest is history!
so no i dont doubt for a minute that it is possible to compute biologicly via light ,but i dont want it to happen!

i think the main problem we're going to run into(eventually) will be the ethicality involved in restricting something that may be near or even superior to our level of intelligence and awareness.
if i knew there was an off switch on my butt, and that someone was in a constant position to shut me down, i'd definitely feel a little hurt.
exciting days are to come.
