Many institutions are trying to build the next generation of computer technology, knowing that the payoff for leading this wave of innovation would be unprecedented. Some of the technologies I've watched include Spintronics, Optical computing, and quantum computing. But my favorite is what is now called the SyNAPSE project.
I've been watching this develop pretty closely for over 5 years and believe that it has the best chance of changing the computer industry, in a monumental way. The concept moves away from traditional computers, which do precise computation on all of the data that is sent in, searching for the one correct answer. Instead, it acts like a brain would.
For example, when we are driving a car, we...
