Ok i was reading this forum yesterday and thought to myself there is no way a computer can remember and learn from experience like we do. The programming just wouldnt allow it…
But i stumbled upon an article in the August 08 issue of Laptop magazine. (Definatly worth going to your local bookstore to check out)
Sorry no link guys need the mag but here are some excerpts
“Researchers at HP Labs have proven the existence of the fourth fundamental circuit element in electrical engineering: the memristor. This breakthrough circuitry could make it possible to build a notebook that retains its memory even after powering down…”
“The memristor could also allow computers to learn like your brain does.”
“In addition, the memristor could allow a computer to learn complex patterns based solely on previous experience.”
“HP believes engineers could start producing the memristor for commercial use in as few as five years.”

NICE!
