Quote:I'm just saying what they reported on the Science Channel and they claimed to be very close. 

 

I haven't seen what you are referring to, but i'm sure they've done some kind of experiment having to do with brain cells, but probably not exactly as you described it.  Biology is exponentially more advanced than computers, so it would make sense to experiment on that.  But there isn't a single biological computer at this point that could do much of anything.  And I mean anything.

 

I can tell you they are nowhere close to creating a self-sufficient robot capable of doing much of anything that resembles the actual complexity of a human being.    

 

But yea, it's going to eventually happen.
