Second, computers -- as products -- are not science.

Computers are products, not made by 'scientists' but produced in
factories by the lowest-skilled label it's possible to get away
with.
That sounds just like the underware I just bought.
Made in India,USA or some other third world country.
Where is the made in Canada label?
It is sad to say computer development is in the hands
of bean counters.
Now how about using nice slow organic plastic transitors
and make vacuum tube speed computers. Now that would be
3rd world techology. The real advancement for the future
is to recycle our envorment and that is not about making
$$$$ sadly.
