-
This supracellular, or organismal, approach towards multicellularity seems to have allowed sessile plants to adapt to life on land and to evolve even within hostile environments.

Like Pak Chung Wong´s groundbreaking technique, perhaps we have got to discover a painless procedure to send our computerized bits of information from "Workstation A" by means of pheromone signaling and calcium-fluxed "Morse Code" into a diffused microbial field or biofilm of supracellular structures containing tunnelling nanotubules that can instantaneously transmit our quantum-entangled bits of information to "Workstation B."
