Comparison between the human brain and a computer

Similarities between human brain and computer

There are huge differences between brain physiology and computer processing. But there also exist few

• The similarities are
  Both are used for storage of information, to process information and to run tasks.
  Both play extremely important roles in society, commerce, entertainment and science.
  Both work by combining the processes of several components and parts to perform their tasks.
  Both can change with time. (The brain evolves, while the computer upgrades with technological advances)
  Both work by transmitting "logic signals" to each of their parts. Signals are both electrical
  Both can increase their memory storage capacity.
  Both can degrade. (Computers break down and brain cells deteriorate)
  
  The differences are
  
  Brain cells signal each other electrochemically and enzymatically while computer components transmit stronger electrical signals through conductors.
  Computers have no common sense or real intellect unlike the human brain.
  The brain can evolve but it has hardly changed for the past 100,000 years. The computer is rapidly changing with technology.
  Although both can increase their memory storage capacity, they use difference methods.
  The brain can learn and understand better, while the computer can multitask and perform complex actions.
  It is impossible for the brain to act without emotions while computers act only on logic.
  Repairing a computer is relatively simple compared to brain surgery.
  The computer can be turned off, but not the brain. (it works for 24 hours a day)
  The computer can hardly innovate and invent new ideas unlike the brain.
  The brain has 100 billion neurons which form billions of links is many times more complex than, the mere hundreds of millions of transistors and circuit in today's computers.
  
  Conclusion
  Counting all the similarities and differences of the brain and the computer, you would now see that the computer and the brain do have something’s in common, but in many more ways they are actually more different than they are similar.
