Why do you think we compare our brain to a computer?
The human brain is usually compared to the most advanced technology of the day.It’s been compared to a clock, a switchboard, a computer, and, most recently, to the Internet.You might be surprised to learn that, in every way it’s been tested, the brain is still far superior to the most powerful computers in existence.

- Your brain’s storage capacity is considered virtually unlimited. It doesn’t get “used up” like RAM in your computer.
- The latest research shows
that the brain’s memory capacity is a quadrillion, or 1015,
bytes. Astoundingly, this is about the same amount needed to store the
entire Internet
- The human brain is capable
of 1,016 processes per second, which makes it far more powerful than any
existing computer.
- Researchers involved in the
AI Impacts project have developed a way to compare supercomputers to
brains — by measuring how fast a computer can move information around
within its own system. By this standard, the human brain is 30 times more
powerful than the IBM Sequoia, one of the world’s fastest supercomputers.
- Japan’s K computer is one of the most powerful computers in the world. When programmed to simulate human brain activity, it took 40 minutes to crunch the data equivalent to just one second of brain activity

It is very interesting and exciting to know that our brain is the most powerful computer than any electronic device . This reminds me of the fact that there are about 100 billion neurons in a human brain, which is about the same as the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
ReplyDeleteThis is really so interesting
