What I mean is: You can type an entire novel on a computer, and oopsie a random cosmic bitflip and system crashes and now its all gone. Or you do a lot of filming and the digital file can get corrupted. Where as stuff like, a typewriter, it’s less likely to just be all gone due to some malfunctions. Same with film, a cosmic bitflip can’t delete all your footage.

Know what I’m sayin’?

    You say that, but analogue computers are quite good at what they do. Issue tends to be that they’re specialised, so aren’t very good at general tasks.

    Brains are a rare exception.
