Your brain through the ages

 Have you noticed that each technical age has its own way of describing the mechanisms of the brain.  The Industrial Age used pistons, pumps and hydraulics, the electrical age wires, cables and transistors, the computer age uses files and folders and now the digital age is networks - neural ones apparently.

Next on the rung is quantum computing; which is where it gets interesting. Whilst it’s easy to visualise hydraulics, electricity and networks, will we ever visualise quantam mechanics?  I guess we can visualise the UV spectrum and electrons, both unintuitive things; so the is possibility is there.     It’s a fascinating world just waiting to be explained.
