Brain vs. Computer: A Processing Comparison

Your brain doesn't actually work faster than a computer. Modern processors execute billions

of calculations per second, while your neurons fire at just 200 times per second

maximum. But here's the twist. Your brain is doing something computers can't touch.

It's processing 11,000,000 bits of information every single second, but you're only

consciously aware of about 40 bits. The other 10,999,960 bits? Your subconscious

is handling that, keeping you alive, recognizing faces, detecting threats, all without you

knowing. A computer needs explicit instructions for everything. Your brain?

It learned to walk by falling down thousands of times as a baby. No programming required.
