Have you ever considered how similar a brain is to a computer?
Fundamentally, humans use simple algorithmic processes all of the time (e.g. to-do lists).
However, popularly, computers seem to be considered to be completely separate from brains.
The analogies are made all of the time that brains:humans::hardware:computers and mind:humans::software:computers, but their not really taken too seriously.
What if we work under the assumption that brains aren't living computers, but that computers are unliving brains?
In other words, if we understood the relationship between the computer and the human mind better, could we more quickly approach everyday computers being an ideal brain?
