| The OP clearly doesn't know the definition of computer science.
What he's saying is that computer engineering will die out in the next few years. He may even be right. But what is currently called "computer science" would be just as necessary if every computer in the world were built out of organic components. It'd be virtually impossible to develop a fully functional computer that wouldn't be programmed in a way similar to the way existing computers are programmed (look up the Church-Turing thesis if you want more details). More importantly, any type of computing system would require experienced programmers to attack problems efficiently. In the USA Computing Olympiad, programmers have to write programs that would solve a problem millions of times faster than a brute-force approach. That takes use of techniques and approaches to problems that are extremely elegant and sophisticated, and that is the focus of much study in computer science today.
Mind, certain components of computers today are far faster than chemical systems could ever match. Any computer that beat out existing technology would have to use a mix of biological and electronic processors. |

| Problems with this theory:
1. Neurons are way, way slower than electronic circuits. Neurons are used in the natural world because they react well to noisy data and are very versatile, but for certain tasks like calculating huge sets of numbers or rendering a video game, artificial neuron networks aren't a great option.
2. Neural Networks are totally inefficient. Even to solve simple problems, ten of thousands of neurons are required, each performing a relatively complex operation.
3. Even if neural network understanding is perfected, it may very well prove more efficient to just run the network as a program on a conventional computer. |

| April 20th is known as National Pot Smoking Day. (I'm not saying that is why it's in his name.) It's just something I read or heard on the news.

| weed is why its in his name.
like I said, read his other posts, in his "can I put an internship onmy resume if I got kicked out" thread, he got kicked out for smoking weed.
anyone that talks like he does with that screen name on a should-be respectable academic board is a troll. just ignore him |

| I assure you that my antics are genuine and are in no way meant to interfere with the master workings of you, the greedy and arrogant. I deeply apologize if I have detoured these fine members from their usual elitist preaching, uncalled for self-promotion, and mindless inquiries. |
