The Hard Drive vs. The Brain
Just interested in some thoughts here.
I am sure that most of us are aware of the way we refer to the amount of information that a hard drive can store.
Bytes
Of course, it is the Gigabyte we use most frequently now days. It is not uncommon to find a computer that has a capacity of 200 to 300 Gigabytes.
This is a lot of information.
Our brains, however, can also hold a lot of information. I have always wondered that if we used the same terminology to talk about brain information as we do hard drives, How many Gigabytes, Terabytes, or whatever could the brain hold?
