Does a computer really resemble the human brain for its memory If so it never fades its memory but the brain does. Why it is so?

this is a very difficult question to answer. let me explain a few things first
my computer has 60 gigabytes,
their are around 1,028 gigabytes in a terabyte
120 gigabytes = 2 computers
240 gigabytes = 4 computers
480 gigabytes = 8 computers
960 gigabytes = 16 computers
1,030 gigabytes = 17 computers
17 computers = 1 terabyte
34 computers = 2 terabytes
68 computers = 4 terabytes
136 computers = 8 terabytes
272 computers = 16 terabytes
544 computers = 32 terabytes
1,088 computers = 64 terabytes
1,632 computers = 96 terabytes
1,666 computers = 100 terabytes
100 terabytes = 102,400 gigabytes
a typical song you download is 5 megabytes
if 100 terabytes = 104,857,600 megabytes
then the brain can hold 20,971,520 songs
and each song is approx 4 minutes long
then the brain can hold 83,886,080 minutes of audio
if a 120 minute movie is 4 gigabytes
257 movies = 1 terabyte
514 movies = 2 terabytes
1,028 movies = 4 terabytes
2,056 movies = 8 terabytes
4,112 movies = 16 terabytes
8,224 movies = 32 terabytes
16,448 movies = 64 terabytes
24,672 movies = 96 terabytes
25,700 movies = 100 terabytes
3,084,000 minutes of video (with audio) is how much the brain can hold
that formula is seriously flawed for several reasons
such as
1: the brain would only be able to remember 7 years
2: it would not allow the subconscious to remember events because they would no longer be stored, and would be replaced with other events
3: the brain would over load and crash resulting in death (at 7 years old)
however it is possible that like compressing a file on a computer the mind compresses memories and looks at them as different files that's why when you try to think of an old event it takes you a while(the mind decompresses them) and when you try to think of a spacific thing the brain can recall it because it is looking for a memory file, not a subconscious file. and when you are hypnotized, the mind looks at the memory and subconscious files as one and the same making it easier to recall specific events. this also makes sense when someone is in a state of deep hypnosis, the brain can become a "DOS command box." and when someone tells the human in the deep state of hypnosis a command, like, standing up, or stop smoking, the command is activated. sertant commands such as standing up are shorter then others, and once completed they are forgotten. if you have not realized the answer it is this
the human brain and a computer are the same depending on what you believe

How much computer memory would be equivalent to a brain?
It isn't really the same type of memory nor is the method of storage easily compared. For example a computer can store 'one' as a single bit or as 3 bytes of ascii. The brain stores it very differently.
Is ram brain of the computer?
The processor would be considered to be the brain of the computer. RAM is just part of the working memory of the computer.
Does the internal structure of the pituitary resemble that of the brain?
yes the internal structure of brain resemble to brain
How long does your brain hold onto your memories?
It really depends on how old you are and your brain memory.
What part of the brain is responsible for thinking memory?
Memory is acuity spread thought the brain, along with thinking. it really depends on the definition of "thinking"
How is human memory similar to computer and how do they differ?
you mean how do a computer and the human brain correlate. in short, they dont. computers use only on and off states, the brain is vastly more complicated, the interactions based on chemical and electrical gradients rather than discrete values.
Compare human brain and computer memory?
The human brain is a 'hero' in front of a computer memory which is almost a zero. The human brain has got the ability to think, dream, invent, etc without any assistance. But the computer memory cannot think independently and need external assistance to do all the works even though it has got a large memory size. Learning is another great ability of the human brain. And above all the human brain has a mind for expressing its emotions. The computers lack these abilities. We know what a computer is capable of but the scientists are still trying to find the other great abilities of the human brain which are still not known to us.
What parts of a human function as a computer's input storage memory processing and output?
the brain
What is a CPU memory unit?
RAM is generally measured in Megabytes or Gigabytes
What is the main of computer?
The "main brain" of a computer is usally known as the CPU or the Processor(s) but really if you think about it a brain can compute and store so really the "main brain" would be the CPU and a harddrive or other storage device
What do you do if you forget your email for combat arms?
Open your brain then look for a part of your brain thats called the memory center and transfer the data on to your computer. Simples
What is the brain of your PC?
The main brain of your PC is your processor. But many other parts of your PC makes up its 'brains' such as the registers, main memory, cache memory. The brain of your PC would be its CPU or the central processing unit or the processor. It is the necessary part of your PC system to be able to carry out the instructions of a computer program. It is also the primary element carrying out the computer's functions.
