The memristor will bring a new paradigm of programming, opened enormous opportunities to enable the machines to gain knowledge, creating a new paradigm toward the intelligence altificial.
Do you believe that we are paving the way for the era of intelligent machines?

Brain-like systems?
"As for the human brain-like characteristics, memristor technology could one day lead to computer systems that can remember and associate patterns in a way similar to how people do. This could be used to substantially improve facial recognition technology or to provide more complex biometric recognition systems that could more effectively restrict access to personal information. These same pattern-matching capabilities could enable appliances that learn from experience and computers that can make decisions."

[EDITED] The way is open.
