Living organisms cope with that easily; they can throw superior processing at it

Think about the human eye for example; the specifications of it are worse than any webcam you can find.
  • The mechanics are really poor, it is irregular shaped and optically inadequate, focusing method is squeezing the thing out-of-shape!
  • The sensor part is nonuniform and to top it, the databus runs on the wrong side of the sensor elements!
    the resolution is poor, the color sensing is poor, the bandwidth is poor
  • the system runs on glucose ATP/ADP burner, electricity is used only partially as signals traverse with potassium-ion transferense!
  • etc... etc...

The only way to make it work at all is to train the most complex neural network in the universe to use it for several years.
