Brain & Computer

Analogy Paragraph

In many ways the computer strives to parallel the brain in its capabilities. Both the computer and the brain have a means of input or a way to obtain information from outside sources such as a mouse and keyboard or the five senses. Over time, as this input is gathered, they are also able to progressively learn and develop based on the data they compile. The computer and brain also are able to process information at astoundingly rapid rates; the computer's processing capabilities are measured in GHz and the brain's in IQ. As this database of information grows and is processed there has to be a way in which to store it, and this is accomplished in the computer by the use of a hard disk drive or solid state drive and in the brain by its natural memory. Lastly, both the computer and the brain are finetuned micromanagers; in order for each to be able to carry on their directive duties, the computer must be minutely programmed and the brain must be fearfully and wonderfully made. Despite these amazing accomplishments in technology, man is still nowhere near God in his ability to design and create a human brain.
