Why haven't we started creating bio-technology? Stuff like, for instance, genetically engineering bacteria so they change color when an electrical current passes through them and, in doing so, creating higher definition TV or computer screens. We could get to the point where we construct biological computers which function similar to our own brains and are significantly more efficient than modern computers.

Yes, but it's not like they'd be feeling organisms. They'd be collections of bacteria and various chemicals which perform menial tasks.

Perhaps I worded it oddly, though. Your computer wouldn't necessarily be a brain hooked up to wires, but more of a collection of chemicals and cells which interact with each other in a way that simulates the brain, minus emotion and thinking and self-awareness and so on.

We already have. Check out entries for the International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition.

One problem with using biology in stuff like electronics is that you have to keep it alive ALL THE TIME. So even when your bioTV is not turned on you'll have to keep the nutrient drip running.

Speaking of which, last time I checked, I don't have a standard bio-nutrient plug in my house to plug in a bioTV.

Now the other problem is that biological systems are inherently noisy and slow, which makes engineering biological systems difficult.

Because starting ANY radical tech today runs face-first into the Jewish investment system, which tends to destroy it, which precisely means that it's hyped and then dumped, sacrificing long-term systemic gains for short-term profits. Remember, short-term profits ALWAYS undermine long-term plans. There are no exceptions.

Past the Jewish destruction of post-emergent technologies, biotech brings up obvious safety issues. Just try to open a lab to make a new virus. The government will be up in your ass in microseconds, and as we all know, if one part of the regulations don't kill your efforts, some other part will.

It's not like it isn't being worked on. You just don't know anything about it. Here is a pretty picture, you can understand that. It's a mouse brain that has different fluorescent proteins set behind neuron specific promoters.

They used a cre/lox recombinase system to randomize the amount of each protein expressed in each neuron, allowing for a wide variety of colors as the end result. This is a way to map that shit.

But yeah, bacteria TVs sound super cool. We should get right on that.

Thats true, though it's just an example of some if the biotech being researched. Theres a lot of really mind blowing new tech out there, it's just in the beginning stages.
Theres no doubt in my mind (assuming we don't wipe ourselves out) things like telepathy, telekinesis, AI, etc will be a reality; our imaginations the limit

there are plenty of interesting and amazing applications being made in bioengineering but most of it is medical. Bioengineering for things like TV, computer screens or electronics or a 'biocomputer' is generally not practical as >>4061732 said, you need to keep it alive.

However, you would be absolutely amazed by what has been going on in bioengineering.

The truly awesome part is that the gun just literally sprays stem cells on the burn. No advanced mechanism or anything.. if only we could use embryonic stem cells everywhere our medicine would be miles ahead
