Wait. How many times has your vision frozen? Your brain crashed?

How many times has your hearing stuttered in and out?

How many hearts have you had changed out in your lifetime? Eyes? Ears?

Are you on your second or third tongue?

To say that IT systems are more robust than the biological systems is wild.

A healthy human lives on average for sixty plus years with almost every major system in the body being totally beyond repair by medicine.

There is almost no IT system in existence that has gone more than a few years without a crash or shutdown.

This is a bit funny to me, considering I'm quite visually impaired, with no medical treatment available :)

Many people lose their sight or hearing - or worse - regularly, often with no medical recourse. On the other hand, IT systems can be repaired and replaced as we encounter or anticipate certain failures

The fact that components of an IT system can just be swapped out when they break or wear out is not a disadvantage, but you seem to imply it is.

The Voyager computers have done pretty well (with some help from JPL).
