What's old is new again.

Are analog computers experiencing something of a comeback?

yes. there's a renewed interest in alagogue computers as a way to rapidly perform matrix multiplication for use in neual networks. i'm no expert in computer architecture but i think there's something "indirect" in the way digital computers deal with numbers.
