bit like our neural nets...

 
I have an issue with calling a memristor a 'computing device'. If
you accept that, then so are capacitors and inductors!

I don't see the problem.  Switches, relays, beads on a string can all be
computing devices - and not all of them have 'memories'.  Pots have been
used as computing elements on the front panel of analogue computers for
years, so what is the difference between them (set by hand) and a
memristor (set electronically)?

...and yes, capacitors are definitely computing devices: Blumlein/Miller
integrator.
