Computers are more like people now than ever before. How does each part compare?

Ooh yeah.. good one. Okay lets see, taking off from flavor's que; the brain would be highly compartmental:
{
conscious (processor)
subconscious (operating system)
long term memory storage (hard drive [rom/programs])
short term memory storage (hard drive [ram/applications])
nervous system (motherboard)
nerves (bus/circuitry)
nerve impulses (data stream)
neurons (data)
synapses (data ports)
{
muscle groups[i.e. arms, legs, etc] (printers, cd/dvd players, etc)
muscle architecture (external device(s) properties)
nutrient feed/arteries veins (circuitry)
nutrients (energy)
rapid input[eyes, ears, touch..] (keyboard, mouse, microphone)
vocal cords (speakers)
mind image[rendering] (browser/display)
sweat glands (cooling fans)
sleep (hibernation)
}}
That's it for now.

Brain as a Hard Drive and memory
Motherboard as a spine bone
Key board and mouse as arms and legs
Heart as a processor
Face as a monitor
Floppy, CD drive and CD writer as mouth
Power Source as Lungs
and blah, blah, blah

Well I know what part of the human body I would call the mouse on a man, and disk drive on a women:)

the intel chip = brain
the hard drive = brain
the monitor = eyes
the mouse = finger
the printer = the butt
the floppy drives and cd drive = mouth
electricity = blood
wires = arteries/veins
the keyboard = skin

Head = processor
Heart = power source
Mouth = CD Rom drive (intakes stuff)
ummm...can't think of any more.

brain = processor + memory + hard drive
eyes, ears, nose = keyboard + mouse
mouth, hands, feet, legs, arms = monitor
heart, digestive system, lungs = power supply + cooling system
liver, kidneys, colon = air filter

Computers are in no way as sophisticated as the human body....can computers reproduce by themselves, in otherwords make baby computers? Can computers think for themselves? No? Then there it is!
