Some differences between human beings and computers are:
- Brains are analogue; computers are digital
- Computers access information in memory by polling a memory address, brains search memories using cues
- The brain is a massively parallel machine; computers are modular and serial
- Processing speed is not fixed in the brain; there is no system clock
- Short-term memory is not like RAM
- Computers are hardware that runs software, there is no "mind software" running on brains
- Synapses are far more complex (electrochemical) than computer logic gates (electrical)
- Computers use processors and memory for different functions, there is no such distinction in the brain
- Computers are designed, built and are of fixed architecture, the brain is a self-organizing system
- Computers have no body, brains do
