> Eventually one of these things will surface that will be GPU/transistor type innovations

Why do you think that?

I just meant a big innovation that reshapes everything. I should have used 'level' instead of 'type' here.

But there are a lot of analogies to computation in bio as a physical, atomic forces-driven, massively parallel computer, so it's possible there will be something related to electronics and computers that falls out. For example, there's also applications directly related to other fields including DNA storage of data and neuron-based computation.
