Brains and Computers: Amino Acids versus Transistors Brain power vs. computing power - the race is on! Seth Fearey Newport's paper is humbling. His historical figures, e.g. just thousands of transistors per 8 bit microprocessor in 1971, took me back to my first computer (Dartmouth timeshare). I was also reminded how hard it was to get to today's staggeringly powerful devices. (But Newport doesn't explain why my desktop still runs so damn slowly.) The processing power of the human brain evolved over millions of y. Don't be intimiated by the numbers

Brain power vs. computing power - the race is on! Seth Fearey Newport's paper is humbling. His historical figures, e.g. just thousands of transistors per 8 bit microprocessor in 1971, took me back to my first computer (Dartmouth timeshare). I was also reminded how hard it was to get to today's staggeringly powerful devices. (But Newport doesn't explain why my desktop still runs so damn slowly.) The processing power of the human brain evolved over millions of y. Don't be intimiated by the numbers Mark The author describes this short work as an essay. I guess that it is an essay in the sense described by my high school English teacher - introduction, thesis, argument, conclusion. But most of the argument involves presentation of pages of data that compare computing power and networking to comparable function in the human brain. By the time Newport begins to draw conclusions in the final 1/4 of the. Mind-boggling perspective on the processing capability of the human brain and how it stands up to computers Gordon It is mind-boggling to consider that all the devices connected to the world wide web do not even approach the networking capability contained within the a single human brain. This concise, compact compilation of readily digestible information on the current state of computer processing power versus the brains of humans is fascinating. For anyone interested in computers or the brain, particularly "Bi
The once startling assertion that artificial intelligence will surpass and possibly replace human intelligence has become a cliché. See for yourself what differentiates brains from computers and ponder what that implies for both artificial and human intelligence. "Brains and Computers" guides readers step-by-step through the digital components and processes that constitute the World Wide Web and then through the biological components and processes that constitute the human brain. But writers who predict or lament this outcome by extrapolating technological advances into the future consistently neglect to "run the numbers" for a side-by-side comparison of digital with biological intelligence. "Brains and Computers", despite referencing some very large numbers, requires neither mathematical nor scientific expertise and can be read in half an hour.
