Why are cameras so inferior in low light compared to our eyesight?

I'm not even talking about extreme low light. For example, at home in the evening, I have a few lamps on. I can see everything clearly. Yeah, it's dim, but by no means dark. I whip out my DSLR, and even with a 1/60 shutter speed, a ginormous aperture of 1.8, and a very noisy ISO of 1600, images are very dark.

What is it about sensor technology that is so inferior, and what are possible technologies that could replace what we're currently using?

There's a -lot- to it but the overly simple answer is that you're not really seeing the 'light' but your minds reconstruction of the data provided by your eye.  This is why we see in the dark so well, your mind is really, really good at filling in the blanks.
