Computer technology is rated to equate human ability to do task, what position is the brain that invented it?

computers can do complicated tasks, but as far as I now computers can not think in the way that human do, we are still superior.

The brain is convoluted. As are we all?

Artificial intelligence is whatever is programmed into a computer chip to perform certain functions.

computers can only think in on or off, 1 or 0, yes and no.\nthey have no maybe, they have no grey areas. \n This means they can think faster than us, but not better than us.\n\nyour information is kept on your hard drive. \n\nThis is a bunch of disks, each disc has little bits of metal on it, a magnet arranges the little bits of metal into patterns. these patterns are your data. when you turn off your computer, the data stays there, arranged on the disks.\n\nyou are just meat, but you function well enough.\n\n\nbumble bees flap their wings REALLY fast, pushing air down, wich in turn pushes them up. \n They may look pretty big compared to their wings, but they are very light. so they don't have to lift very much.

Its all in the mind,human brain is the most powerful thing in the world.There is one instance when a car rolled over a kid,dunno how,the mother was there and she we terrified and lifted the car on her own.she had a silp disc.Isn't that amazing?

Actually, the brain uses electrical AND chemical messages.  I believe this is one of the reasons the brain is able to acheive such complexity of operation.  Computers are not currently capable of that same complexity, and my theory is that the computers are limited by the fact they use ONLY electrical data.  By combining electical and chemical messages, the computing capabilities are expanded exponentially.  No source for this.  It's just my personal hypothesis.

I not very sure where your ID is but my guess would be the frontal lobes. Ok, firstly it is believe that a marvellous signal is responsible for memory and cognition; and the would be the theta phrase. This (through experimentation) is proven to be responsible for spatial memory. When you are required to do navigation, the hippocampus (mainly the right side) is activated. Thus we believe that our intelligence is probably due to our hippocampus. However, in recent studies, it is found that the medial septum and the perirhinal cortex also have theta. Thus it is proposed that recall and recognition is done but different pathways in your brain. So if your want to have an electronic brain, you need to be able to produce this theta phrase. Another thing to take into consideration is Long Term Potentiation(LTP). LTP is due to repitative synaptic activity. If your circuit cannot have LTP-like effect, you remeber nothing. Lastly, electronic implants being man-made will be unable to perform as well as neurons which is by nature as neurons also secrete substances and circuits cannot do so. With current technology, it is theoratically impposible to build an e-brain

i believe it is possible. we use less than 10 % of our brain. it is believed that if we could use more then we could fly, move things with our minds, and read peoples thoughts.

HEY! I LOVE computers, am trained as a programmer analyst/internet solutions developer and work for Dell on Call (tech support). I have, however, a dominant right hemisphere. I am both creative AND analytical; emotional AND intelligent. So, very cute joke, but NO.

A computer is a device or machine for making calculations or controlling operations that are expressible in numerical or logical terms. Computers are made from components that perform simple well-defined functions. The complex interactions of these components endow computers with the ability to process information. If correctly configured (usually by programming) a computer can be made to represent some aspect of a problem or part of a system. ...

Human brain - our capability to think, problem solve and communicate.\n\nIf you compare human brain volume with other animals, we have the biggest (and most complex/developed) brain in relation to the body mass.  \n\nIt is our brain that gave us a distinct advantage to survive natural selection.  We have never been the strongest animal, but we're the smartest and most resourceful by far.  If not for our ability to adapt and invent, we’d have been hunt to extinction by other stronger carnivores.

AI Artificial Intelligence is the closest a machine will come to a human beings brain therefore programed thinking.\n\nMachines can't feel the way a human does, but it can imitate many responses.\nThe pre-programmed algorithm of problem solving tree must first be thought out by man. Then it is simply taking those responses and programming them.\n\nSo your definition of thinking may be what separates man from his toys.

Basic skill in use of computers, from the perspective of such skill being a necessary societal skill.\n\nThe term was coined by Andrew Molnar, while director of the Office of Computing Activities at the National Science Foundation.\n\n"We started computer literacy in '72 [...] We coined that phrase.\n\nIt's sort of ironic.\n\nNobody knows what computer literacy is.\n\nNobody can define it.\n\nAnd the reason we selected [it] was because nobody could define it, and [...] it was a broad enough term that you could get all of these programs together under one roof" (cited in Aspray, W., (September 25, 1991) "Interview with Andrew Molnar," OH 234. Center for the History of Information Processing, Charles Babbage Institute, University of Minnesota).\n\nThe term, as a coinage, is similar to earlier coinages, such as "visual literacy", which Merriam-Webster (http://www.m-w.com/) dates to 1971, and the more recent "media literacy".

Today's world is a computer world because we rely on the computer to do everything, even to breathe. We use it for communication like this forum, we use it to help disabled people like me type by using voice recognition software. There is a program in my math class that we used to solve problems instead of doing it on paper. All sorts of stuff.

biological computers, the memory would grow and learn similar to our brains

First of all ur area of interest is most important. Computer and electronics field require highly analytical brain, where as mechanical requires innovative brain.\n                           Although in terms of opportunity and growth I'll rank different stream as:\n1. Computer Science\n2.Electrical and Electronics\n3.Mechanical(including production, industrial, aerospace etc)\n4.Chemical\n5.Civil
