diminished brain capacity
Is it now just Urban Legend that we only use 1/10th of our entire brain space? There is much of our brain that is sitting like empty storage just waiting to be used. Also for using more of our minds - let us not only think in the way of IQ. Super athletes also have great mind capacity for coordination and strength and timing. Well trained athletes also use much brain power same as Einstein. Instead of Manipulating numbers the athlete is manipulating muscles and making split second decisions and...... Such Athletes need much energy for their muscles and organs AS WELL AS their brains.
One reason computers can run calculations quicker than the human brain is that computer has much less to think about (pardon the pun). Even if we hook up a camera or microphone - the computer just records the imput. Computer doesn't make determination 9say in dim light) of whether person is holding a gun or is an immanent threat (as in case of soldier or police). Computer may record or even identify a sound - but can it make split second judgements and choose an action based on that judgement? A computer may sniff out radon or natural gas - but that is it. Our brains deal with hunger and emotions and reasoning and temperature and ......... and moving hands and feet without consciously thinking about it. Brain keeps heart and lungs always working. These are all things that a computer does not do. I don't like the idea of attaching a lesser thing (such as CPU) to our brains and expect our brains to work better. Just adding my opinions.
