Human brain memory is difficult to render in the form of a computer's memory data. A computer remembers things in binary code, ones and zeroes, An average T.V. Program takes around 1,000,000 ones and zeroes in order for the computer to be able to render the series as a pixelated picture. It would be quite difficult for the human brain to remember all of those numbers in perfect succession, nay nearly impossible. Instead, the brain saves things to its "hard drive" in the form of senses and experiences. That is something that as of yet a computer is unable to accomplish. A recent scientific study however showed that if a human tries to remember things in pictures much like a computer, they could only remember a certain amount per day, unlike a computers infinite amount. They took this number and compared it to a brain function graph, the scientists then could measure the amount of brain function growth per day as compared to total memory ability. If compared to a computer, the human brain can successfully store, before a finite memory limit is reached, around 2.5 Petabytes worth of data. (1 petabyte equals 1,000,000 gigabytes) 2.5 Petabytes is enough storage capacity for a hard drive to store over 3,000,000 hours of HD television. So, in essence, if you kept your brain running non-stop and remembered every single detail of every single day, it would still take you over 300 years to top off your brains capacity. This isn't accounting for certain memories that may have been forgotten, freeing up more space. I don't think any human has to worry about running out of memory in their lifetime. Hope this helps!!!

Why brain of a human is compared with computer?

The comparison between the human brain and a computer often arises due to similarities in their functions - both process information, store data, and make decisions. Additionally, both can be seen as networks of interconnected elements that work together to perform complex tasks. However, it's important to note that the brain is far more intricate and flexible than any current computer system.

What part of the human body would you compare to the memory slots?

The brain can be compared to memory slots in a computer because it is where information is stored, processed, and retrieved, similar to how memory slots store data in a computer. Just like memory slots, the brain's capacity for storing information increases with more practice and use.

Not sure what kind of answer you are looking for. In English literature, that would be considered a simile."A human brain is like a computer."Or it could be an understatement, considering the human brain is extremely powerful in ways a computer never will be.
