    Chapter 19 A great deal of research has gone into understanding how rats navigate, since they are very good at it (so are ants, as we noted above, but their brains are much harder to study, being so small). Researchers have put rats into regular...

      Hey Silas,

      I found your response to the question about number of programming in the futures very interesting.

      I was contemplating on whether there would be more programs in the future because new necessities may arise which current programs are not optimized for, or there will be less because programs will constantly be updated until there are only a few that can do almost everything very well. 

      The way you put it as there will always be more and as new ones will be created and old ones never really disappear resonates with me because I guess they are like songs. New songs are always created and old songs will always be there even though less people will listen to them.

      Best,

      Syed H
