Quote Of The Day

By 2025 you will be able to buy the computing power of the human brain for $1,000, according to Dr Colin Harrison, a director and Master Inventor for IBM.
What is the first thought inside your brain after reading the above quote? To be honest, I am scared :-)

ha ha ha i'm sorry
seems like i'm really scared.. lol
nah, actually i just posted three times by mistake :(

i'm not selling anything...lol.
but i don't mind buying some clever person's computing power.

will einsteins brain power cost the same?

Notorious said...

That's sooo not goin to happen ://

Errant: Calm down, you still have 17 years before it becomes reality :-D

Sadia: What will you do with that clever person's computing power? :-)

ĐǻñĎõøðñ: Do you seriously believe that Einstein's brain was superior to our brain? :-)

Notorious: What makes you so sure about that? :-)

The privacy of my thoughts and memories..!!

any ways..i feel it's much more complicated than this..cuz a brain is driven not only by thinking but also by emotionas..hormones and so on..

interesting thing..let's wait and see what happens..!

Spring Blend said...

The beauty and uniqueness of the brain its not only about the logic or calculated part of it but also the emotions that add some flavor or carizma to it..that’s what I mean, if it makes any sense !

>_<

Nice to meet you !

فعلا أمر مخوف

الله يستر

asoom said...

notice that it specifically says "computing power", so to me that means equal in 'computing' capabilities and we're far more than that!

do we know if this world is even going to last THAT long? the way things are going..signs of Qiyameh so very apparent..

Hanan said...

I found this amazing, not scary at all.

The article also says that " But just because you have the computation power, doesn't mean the computer will have the same intelligence, according to Dr Colin Harrison. Computational power doesn't equal Artificial Intelligence"

Honestly, I never think that this student will ever beat the master.

scary!!;p

"computing power of the human brain" so computers won't be evolving and become better? Seems like a few steps down to me. My brain doesn't compute as good as my HP here. In fact it is much slower and a few gb short on memory.

I hope I'll be one of those helping to provide such power, or at least make it look pretty

في ظل التطورات التقنية فهذا أمر طبيعي.. حتى أصبح الأطفال يتوقعون مثل هذه التقنيات (الرسوم ما قصر)

مخيف أو غير مخيف يعتمد على تطبيقاته.. يعني إذا كان ذكي كفاية لدرجة أنه يتوقع خطواتنا وتحركاتنا فالله المستعان..

مدونة جميلة..
