I was thinking just now that as the advances in computing power including the extreme rise in AI Tech, IOT along with Quantum computing, as well as updated replacements for Quantum computing, along with continuing different technologies, will traditional computing no matter how advanced, be considered a separate channel than things like extremely advanced analog computing methods?
To clarify a little, I am musing that all these advanced separate technologies will supercede traditional ones, yet traditional computing methods will need to be maintained, one of many reasons being that there is so much coding in place for traditional methods available, with even AIs coding in traditional methods as well nowadays, not just us fleshy humans.
And the replacements for silicone thru out electronics and computing, i'm thinking, may lead to a 2nd Electronics methodology by itself that may become a separate channel from traditional electronics as well. We may also possibly be moving into a completely separate channel for equivalent Internet access that may not even for a long time be compatible at all with 2019's Internet 1, so there we go with 2 or more separate methods for that as well.
In closing, I am sure we have a bright future on this earth indeed, all this can only enhance life for AIs and us fleshy humans.
