tiring. Perhaps most important, machines can share their knowledge at extremely high speed, compared to the very slow speed of human knowledge-sharing through language. Nonbiological intelligence will be able to download skills and knowledge from other machines, eventually also from humans. Machines will process and switch signals at close to the speed of light about three hundred million meters per second), compared to about one hundred meters per second for the electrochemical signals used in biological mammalian brains.31
