Could AMOEBAS be the future of computing?

It is one of the most simple organisms on Earth. But the amoeba, a single-celled organism consisting mostly of gelatinous protoplasm, could be far smarter that thought - and change computing forever. Researchers found they have unique computing abilities that could one day rival conventional computers. The researchers adapted the problem so the amoeba, which can deform its body, was able to use a specially designed chip with 64 'legs', pictured Amoeba, are a single-celled organism consisting mostly of gelatinous protoplasm. The particular type of amoeba that the scientists used was a plasmodium or'true slime mold,' which weighs about 12 mg and consumes oat flakes.
