So sci-fi isn’t far off after all.
War of the Worlds.
The last of us.
Battlestar Galatica.
All had some fungi/organic hook (ok, last of us is about zombies but still).
Curious if we could mux them into something faster at a higher order or something. The idea that organics can be used for electronics is so wild.

- sholladay 1y agoStar Trek has a number of organic computing examples, too. Species 8472, Data, and the Borg all use varying degrees of organic components. There's also the bio-neural gel packs on Voyager and the unnamed 31st century Earth vessel discovered by Archer and the NX-01 Enterprise. New Trek even has a mycelial network in space.
- reactordev 1y agoNew Trek is so awful. There’s no depth to anything. Interweaving stories to make them seem important. It’s just bad TV. The previous, it gets better the closer to TNG it is. Granted DS9 was a different beast than TNG or Voyager. Those shows had episodes, individual stories, as well as seasonal arcs. Back when shows were written for TV. New Trek feels like a bad movie script broken into episodes with side character filler.
