Exotic Computer Links

Everyone today knows what a computer is. It's that boxy looking thing that sits on your desk and makes lots of cool stuff happen. Many hours have been spent improving the way that computers work, but to a large degree, the fundamental ideas have been unchanged. There are still transistors and wires and the bottom of everything.

Well this page is devoted to people who are thinking about going somewhere totally new with computing. There are some wonderfully bizarre links here. Enjoy!

Note: I got these links from the TA in my undergraduate algorithms class. I can't remember his name right now, but I owe him many thanks.
