Question Why Rotors ?

Good Morning all You Rotorhead's,

Why in this modern era of computers that will balance or mix anything do we need to still rely on rotors for lift and directional stabillity, Look at the Harrier Gr1 it doe's not have a tail rotor but can do anything that a Heli can do, why are there no moves toward full vectored thrust , I am sure we must have the engineering and design ability, or do we, what do you folk out in the real world think?
