Abstract
The previous chapter was devoted to the investigations of recent years in information technology, based on two approaches generally accepted today—the von Neumann paradigm and the biological principles of information processing. However, at the same time attempts were made to find new ways of information processing different from the traditional ones and having certain advantages over them. These new ideas hardly have any fundamental novelty. Rather, they involved a combination of digital von Neumann principles and biological principles.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven …
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together …
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.
Ecclesiastes
