Can computer challenge the Brain?




     Moderately priced PCs capable of performing about a billion
     calculations per second today, will be able to perform about a
     trillion calculations per second within next 10 years.

     It is predicted that by 2019, the computational ability of an
     ordinary PC would exceed the capability of human brain.

     By 2029, the capability of a normal PC would be around 1000 times
     of the human brain.


Definitely my view is: the creativity of the human mind will always

be superior to even the most powerful computer in the horizon.
