Agreed!

Yet somehow we have been able to encode almost every sensory perception
as bits.  No hurry on smells, though (at least from my standpoint).

Encoding DNA as bits is fairly trivial once the DNA is decoded, but how do
we encode the current state of the organism?  

If we can solve that problem, "It only works for bits" is not much of a
limitation!

Great point John,

Although it would be great to get a Amateur Data Network as Phil and Glen
have been
discussing but reality is that most amateurs lack finances,  knowledge and
resources.

What is needed is,  as John states,  simple technology and systems so as it
is easily
duplicated by Mr. Joe Average HAM.  I am not blind though to the fact that
anything
we do will always cost money.
