Processing power: Computer vs Human Brain
« on: August 31, 2009, 08:40:11 AM »
Greetings,

The chart shows Ray Kurzweil's projected processing power of a Supercomputer in FLOP x 10^n. In terms to processing power that triples every year, is the possibility a human brain would be obsolete in 20 ~ 30 years time? By 2025 our future generation will encounter computers that are "self-aware" or "sentient", could interact, and design it's own games, music? Sounds scary IMHO in a way, human brain can be obsolete, or we're all just plain lazy. :lol: Clean the room, fix the car, upgrade my Amiga:lol:, do the laudry, make your homework, iron socks, curse at them without them cursing back:lol:... it's so 2025-ish... :lol:
Anyway at present, using cell technology Nasa is simulating a black hole using perturbation theory. That's 16 networked Playstation 3. :)

Regards,
