Comparisons to nature often help engineers and designers make successful
design decisions. But as you say my contrast is definitely simplistic - my
perspective is derived from the comparison of the relative complexity of
computing and the human mind both are which use much resources managing
data/memories. I'm certainly not the first person to make these comparisons:)

Thanks for the response, Damian
