The human brain contains more than 100,000,000,000 nerv cells, all of which are assumed to contain non-binary information (meaning a cell can contain more information than a 1 or 0). Assume that you'll need at least the same amount of transistors to reach that kind of processing power. Also consider that the nerv cells re-wire themselves according to our thinking habits and can communicate using different transmittor substances (such as amino acids). I'm suspecting that we won't see a computer with this capability in the humankind's lifespan. I hate it when people underestimate the human brain. They seem to think it's some simple thing and all our "consciousness of being" is in the soul. gb2/school/ I say.
