Sky Has No Limits...! So Do I....!

The goal of mankind is knowledge. This knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside; it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Swami Vivekananda" - Great Philosopher of the Orient

Hey we all use computers everyday and store enormous amount of data for further processing. Not restricting only to that, we also have memory storage facilities in mobile phones, play stations (other gaming devices) & televisions too... This started from calculators and the most recent flash memories. Recently with the rise of external hard disk the memory capacity storage has become almost infinite. But these devices store data mostly in "Bits-Bytes" format.
So after the evolution of these electronic data storage devices, there has been a question which ruins every human brain. There are also debates at various levels on comparison between Human Brain and Computer memory.

"Human Brain Versus Computer Memory...!"

Computers & Other memory storage devices:
Computers have limited memory capacity, even though we have lots of additional external aids for memory storage like external hard disks, flash memories, memory cards etc.. These devices are just electronic devices which store data in a particular format. These data s gets distributed around various "sectors" on a compact disk or the memory slot. These are stored in a language which are only "0"s & "1"s. They can be arranged, edited, formatted, retrieved when ever required. There is a greater flexibility in using such memories. They take few seconds to retrieve from their memory space. Let us say for eg: we have a computer of memory 160 GB. So we can store data s up to say 140 GB easily. After that there is always a limitation that it can no more accept data s. The effect of such huge memory storage results in slowing down the processor. So the speed of retrieval or any operation performed are slow. The data s as such stored in the memory space of the computers cannot integrate by itself until any programme is coded to perform that particular operation. The data s stored are just like cargoes stored onboard a ship. They cannot perform or be of any use until a human integrates them. These memory storages are used at hazardous areas like nuclear reactors to monitor and store records. These are also used in "Black Boxes" of an aircraft to store datas which remains undestructed even after plane crash. These types of memories are modified to store datas & compute statistics for even decades together. With the usage of "Internet", we can definitely say the world has shrunk so much that we get every in-depth details of anything which happens in any part of the world in micro-seconds (search engines).

Human Brain: The Power House of Everything....!


Human Brain weighs more than electronic memory storage devices. It is bigger too. It may be slower in performing some tedious calculations than computers. It may not perform all automated jobs that a computer perform. With all the above said functions performed by memories of computer, Definitely Human Brain can't. But the beauty of Human Brain is it can analyze, integrate, decide, learn, teach etc... and many such things which computer memories can't. The computer memory can hold various details, but cannot understand. For eg: It can get the details of supreme Sun in few micro-seconds, but it cannot understand or see the Sun. It can calculate and store distance between stars and planets, but it doesn't know what they are..! It can save data s and store complicated records, but Human Brain creates a purpose for those data s. The improvement in every inch of the memory storage devices are done with Human Brains. The technology may develop multi-folds, but all these developments are for the Humans, by the Humans.
The Human Brain can process emotions too. It controls the most complex mechanism, the most complex machine in the world..." The Human Being"...! The brain has various sections performing various tasks. Emotional centre takes care of the emotions, the memory centre stores data s which can be processed with any kind of matter, it has nervous centre which controls every movement and reflexes of Human Being.
When we talk about the memory storage capacity of Human Brain, it is definitely Infinite...!
One should keep in mind that what ever we see is what we learn. What ever we experience is what we learn & this learning is end-less. We learn everyday unconsiously and with consiousness too... And I strongly believe that everyone on reading this article too learn the comparison of Human Brain with Computer Memory unconsiously....

Yes, human memory is unique and it cannot be compared with a computer memory, after all computer memories are mere inventions of the human brains.

yea, human memory is unique it cannot be compared with a computer memory but my opinion is different in sense of storage capacity. I think human has limited storage capacity it can be developed only about the age of 16 years, after that it cannot be developed. As a result we forgot all those events that are not repeated after a long time............

i think human memory can be compared to computer memory because the memory card or computr have capability to erase, delete, restore, format but human brain or human memory can't funtion so.
