We're not talking about replacing every aspect of a computer with streams. Just the ones that make sense. So, for example, once you're done processing the streams then you might store them as the calculated probabilities.
Let's say you have an image sensor where the 1s in each stream represent arrival of a photon at a particular location. Then do your image processing with the streams. Finally convert to a traditional image format for storage.
