Maybe you can linger and say in this context, what do you mean by computation and communication? What are electrons, what is light and why do they excel at those two tasks? Yeah, just to first speak to computation versus communication, I would say computation is essentially taking in some information, performing operations on that information and producing new, hopefully more useful information.
