You know, if high-quality digital pen and paper had been sold on a commercial level ten years ago, there would probably be a lot more online drawings on the Internet. And if you think about it, most touchscreens even today aren't ideal for making pictures on. It makes you think about what the best kind of computer there would be in the world, but we already know the answer to that. Organic computers. That'd be us humans and other carbon-based denizens of Earth. We have the potential to do so much with our minds, but we're not putting in the right fuel. If you want a car to run, you give it gasoline, not paint. If you want a human to run, give it water, not Diet Pepsi. To the point, though, is that if you think about it, the current concept of computers can only ever achieve so much. We haven't yet invented a computer that can replicate a human, and in our current digital, metallic/silicon way of looking at it, we may never will. Our bodies are formed the way they are for some reason or another, and ignoring that won't get us to where we need to go. It's something to really ponder.
