How does anyone even fill up a Terabyte? |

--- Quote from: Inv3rted on October 19, 2009, 06:30:51 PM ---Exactly. It's possible because we learn. Our brains are computers. --- End quote --- Our brains are computers that adapted to our needs though. The best example I can give of this is Face Recognition. It can take an electronic computer a good 30 minutes to match a face to another face it might have stored in it's database. For us however, it takes a fraction of a second to recognize a face. In contrast, mathematical processes like solving complex algebraic problems can take a long time for us, while they could take a few seconds for computers. So basically a QC wouldn't be all that better then a regular computer in terms of data processing. But the QC would make up for electronic computing's shortcomings by being ridiculously fast in storing/processing information and being able to store allot of information as well. Ultimately we'd need to program a computer to learn like us for it to, well, learn like us. It's difficult when we ourselves aren't exactly sure how our brain works. |
