In class we learned about self organization in biological
systems. One example given in class was about the flocking behavior of starlings,
birds that fly in flocks of 1000+. Last weekend I was in the archipelago when I
saw this large swarm of insects. Similar to the starlings, these creatures were
flying from one place to another, without colliding, as if they were one
organism. These types of flocking behaviors could be studied to develop more
efficient systems, such as transportation systems.
