Positronic? (the brains of asimov's robots).

CPU with data is a bit like objects - except asynchronous, with true message passing. Like smalltalk or Erlang (or web services for that matter).

Brain images, with parts lighting up depending on how active they are, suggests that much of our brains aren't being used most of the time, but come online as needed. It's as if one part calls another part, except the "call" doesn't block. I'm not being very coherent here.
