No matter how much it is said about artificial intelligence and modern technologies, today the human body is the most perfect system on the planet.
We decided to clearly tell about the potential of our body in comparison with modern technology.
Of course, from the point of view of science, comparing the eye and a digital camera is not very correct, but if we abstract, we can calculate that our eyes will have about 126 megapixels (in the center of the pupil).
A second of our vision will be equal to the volume of 21.45 GB, the same second of video on the iPhone 7 will take 375 MB.
There are about 100 billion neurons in the brain, each of which creates about 1,000 potential synapses, which, to a large extent, store data. If you multiply everything, it turns out that the brain theoretically has 100 terabytes of information. For comparison - one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world "Titan" has a total system memory of 710 terabytes.

According to the scientific channel Veritasium, by 2020 the volume of all stored information of mankind will reach 40 zettabytes. Now compare: the human body already contains 60 zettabytes of information.
But human genetic information occupies only 1.5 gigabytes of memory. Like the operating system iOS 10.
In the brain, there are about 100 thousand chemical reactions per second, which means that its speed is equivalent to the speed of the Shanghai Maglev - one of the fastest trains on the planet, whose working acceleration is 430 km / h.
It is a myth that people only use 10% of their brains. The brain uses as many resources as it needs at a particular moment. Its work can be compared with the capabilities of radio: we always listen to only one wave, although there may be 100 of them in the available range.
To be on par with the brain (with a standard power of about 20 W) in performance, you need a supercomputer that consumes about 1.4 MW (fact).
And most importantly: the brain and the human body as a whole have a tremendous compensatory ability and can work even with serious injuries. Not even the most powerful gadget in the world can boast of.
