brain vs computers?

Question

if compared the brain to a computers technicality, what would it be and assuming it did exist who many hours of manpower would it be needed to program such machine to do everything a brain does for a person in his/hers lifetime?
is it possible to calculate the answers?

Answer 1

The comparison is difficult. A computer does one instruction at a time extremely fast and is designed to be 100% accurate. A brain is really slow, but does a bunch of different types of calculations at the same time, but is willing to fill in any blanks with guesses.

Answer 2

A very large computer network can have the memory equivalent of the brain in terms of bits, but the brain learns in a completely different way that a computer is programmed. The brain self-learns by interaction with the environment. This process cannot be duplicated by any number of programmers. The best you could do is give the computer eyes, ears, hands, and legs/wheels, and such, and program it to self-learn like the brain. No one knows how to do that, so the number of programmers required is unclear.

Answer 3

even if you connected all the computers in the world to 1 GIANT super super computer, it will still be unable to overcome a 2 years old child.

the computer does 1 thing a time, if 1 piece of a puzzle was missed the computer will stuck, but the brain (the subliminal brain) can do over 7 BILLION operation a SECOND and he doesn't have to do them in order, he takes all the information and order them as he likes !!

take this for example
1)x+7=y
2)x=3
3)y= ??
the computer will never be able to figure that out as he passed the first line without knowing what y is !! there has to be an order for the information so he can work it out it's called algorithm (Al-Khwārizmī's way of thinking)

but the brain works entirely different, to understand what i'm talking about try to take 3 lessons as top in C programing language and you will knew what i mean

Answer 4

its a hard choice but i would have to say the brain.
even though the computer can do millions of programs in a short amount of time it cannot think for itself yet. all of the information has to be programed onto it. as of now i have to say the brain but in the future it will be the computer.

Answer 5

A computer does not have any intelligence whatsoever.
Oh; it can be programmed to emulate some things that we normally associate with intelligence but it has about the same intelligence as a mirror. If you doubt this, I suggest you go and look at a mirror and see its intelligence. If, at first you do not see a mirror's intelligence, then look again.
