Your Brain Has More Memory Than the Internet

by Brian Thomas, M.S. *

Whoever said the human brain is the most highly organized collection of matter in the universe was more correct than they could have known. New research modeled tiny structures within nerve cells and discovered a clever tactic brains use to increase computing power while maximizing energy efficiency. Its design could form the basis of a whole new and improved class of computer.

From the article:

“Its (the brain’s) DESIGN could form the basis of a whole new and improved class of computer.”

When Dr. Carson spoke at my church, there were around 400 people in the room. He said that you could blindfold a kid, bring them on stage, remove the blindfold for a second. Then, 50 years later they could remember where each person was sitting and what they were wearing - if the full potential/power of the brain could be unleashed. Hard to fathom, but I believe him.

That may be true, but much is damaged as a result of TBI or CTE .

Your Brain Has More Memory Than the Internet

If that memory is not consciously retrievable - if it is not possible to search that memory in any practical fashion - then that information is, for all practical purposes, not usable as such.

Equating it with the Internet is thus fallacious.

I understand Google is working on a brain-search capability.

(Think of the data mining gold!)

Some parts of the internet are not possible to get to as well... at least, not to general users

Google is working on Google-for-the-Brain coding.

:)

One day in the not too distant future, you can plug a USB device into your ear and scan your brain for long-thought-forgotten data. And it will also have a 'where did I put the car keys?' resolution app.

The problem is getting the information out when you need it.

Cognitive scientists also know that all the tricks and and rigging in the evolved brain cause weaknesses in our thoughts and memory. Still it’s probably the most fascinating matter in the Universe. That the brain evolved doesn’t mean God didn’t create it, not just the way the paid deceivers at the ICR are proposing.

Don’t you know that Hillary Clinton is the most intelligent woman in the world? Ask any libtard. She has massive brain power even with all her life-long memory problems (”Your Honor, I don’t remember this, I don’t recall that.”).

“That the brain evolved doesn’t mean God didn’t create it, not just the way the paid deceivers at the ICR are proposing.”

Amen. Organizations like ICR do a disservice. Children grow up being told that the earth is 6,000 years old and they are told that the validity of their faith hangs on obscure things like adding up the ages of figures in Genesis and some “proof” that dinosaurs and man co-existed. Then they find out what they were taught just does not match up with reality and become disillusioned.

If one could recall, in great detail, every exquisitely sweet moment from the past, that’s where one would live.

I believe that is why the bible doesn’t go into much detail about how wonderful Heaven will be. If we knew, we might be too anxious to get there.
