Why do we need a Non-Electric Computer Network?

Why do we need a Non-Electric Computer Network?

1.  Electronic and electric devices are vulnerable to many things. For instance, to solar storms, to changes in the Earth’s magnetosphere, to nuclear detonations, to human or natural destruction of power plants and hubs in computer networks. All of these things are possible, and most of them are likely.

2. There are health risks of electronic devices, particularly in the present climate in which the Precautionary Principle is wanting (ie. there is little or no evaluation of new technologies before they’re commercialized; nor pricing constraints on the proliferation of harmful tech).

3.    Non-Electric systems are likely to be more ecologically sensible, esp. if developed through fair-trade practices. Genuine non-EPNN (non-Electric/Petrochem/Nuclear/Nano) would be the greenest.

4.    A Non-Electronic Computer System technology (NECST) has applications in harsh environments where EM systems may not work, eg. space or other-planetary environments. (Cf. the Globus device.)

5.    NECST thinking will help keep innovation lively because it’s outside of the transistor/chip box. (Granted there’s a lot of innovation within the transistor/chip world as well.) New NECS Technologies will also be able to be fed back into electronic tech development, which will benefit.

6.    NECST helps keep people more aware of the nature of computation and various different physical approaches to carrying it out. This can only benefit education, computer engineering, public policy, and tech generally.
