R&D: Future Computers Could Be Powered By Living Gut Bugs

Mr McC · Oct 27, 2011

Very interesting development. It seems that the distinction between the terrarium and the home computer might be blurred in the future.

Interesting. Connect life matter to artificial :eek:

Double virus attack

These could be hit by two kinds of viruses: the usual computer program kind and those little biological buggers. :eek:

How the hell would you disinfect that?!

Plus, fancy using a PC based on a deadly bug - wouldn't you have to wash your hands every time you used one of these? :laugh:

What about food and water? Imagine going to a pet store to get "food" for your computer. :wtf:

And then you couldn't overclock it too much, because a little too much heat and they all die off...

I walk into a petsmart...
"yea im looking for the computer food"
clerk.. "sure, what breed so i can recommend the most nutritional food. It'll help it stay energetic and active as well as promote a healthy shiny case"
me "um, well my desktop is a gen5 core i20 9600k but i have an ubuntu server with a 16core arm core and an ipad 10"
clerk, "ok isle 9 will have intel food in eather dry or canned, seed for arm breeds is the same isle as birde, isle 3. we dont carry food for apple breeds, you will need to special order or go to an exotic pet store"
me "oh ok thanks"
clerk "oh and no overclocking,
its inhumane and illegal"

if these bugs make our processors in the future, the phrase "i killed my CPU while OCing it" will have a very true meaning LOLOLOLOL

This is old school, there was easier more efficient ways that was used, they are on the right track just need to broaden their concepts a bit more. Nice to see the public sector finally catching on.

... protein ...... pcboard ... replace ...... cpu / gpu ....... nano bridges ...... heatsink ........ 56k cores ...... 17w @ 7.83ghz ...... 2048 bit .... stable ...... 0.318V ..... 26.781C ....

Or the organic, non gmo, non hybrid plant material with passive nano bridges for space gps systems plant cell processors ............... It takes a lot of "juice" to navigate out there.

The self sustaining organic enzyme battery's now that is nice

That is all I am allowed to mention.
