so in real life...

what is all this mess about 2013 being the year that computers will be more advanced than the human brain? wouldnt humans have to completely understand the human brain in order to duplicate and then surpass its abilities? in three point three years, it is assumed that we will have grasped a minimal portion at best of exactly how each neural function in the brain works. so what makes these dumb asses believe that a computer, made by people that do not even fully understand their cognitive selves, will be able to perform anything close to the efficiency of even an impaired human brain? the things people come up with...

PS (and it saddens me that i even have to type this) this myth that humans only use ten percent of their brains is also total bullshit.

PPS you know what else has been proven false? the theory that there are particular areas in the human tongue that function only to detect one exclusive taste (salty, sweet, sour, etc.). Yes, that's right; all that you learned in elementary school about those "tongue taste zones" is false. also, if you bought those special wine glasses, well your wallet's significantly lighter weight is in vain. no matter how much you "could've sworn" that licking that candy with the tip of your tongue enhanced its sweetness, i am here to tell you that you have fallen victim to the placebo effect. sorry charlie =)
you know, i may be wrong, but this fact seems to further support my first claim above...im just sayin'
