The brain is so advanced that it forgets the name of someone you meet within a few minutes. The brain is so advanced that it consumes 10 watts of power while a server can easily consume 50 to 100 times that power. (BTW: A machine requires electricity to carry all information to and from the internal components, the brain only requires basic inputs and responses to internal and external conditions) The brain is so advanced that it has the frontal cortex for all matters pertaining to rational thoughts, advanced processes, and methods of self-restraint being the largest part of the brain, but the Limbic system contains a primitive part of the brain the size of a pea that controls addictions, emotions, and can overpower the most advanced part of the brain. The brain is so advanced that theres a condition where it can move physical objects without physical interaction known as Telekinesis. (BTW: Its not real) The brain is so advanced that it can be fooled by the Placebo Effect and it can be affected by the Nocebo Effect. (The Nocebo effect is like being told that you have a malignant tumor growth in your Pancreas when there isnt one, and then having your body develop a malignant tumor in your Pancreas from panic and unnecessary responses to the Pancreas that tell Pancreatic tissues to multiply at a more rapid pace and develop into a tumor) The brain is so advanced that when vital areas of information are tampered with, hallucinations can occur. (BTW: Thats not always the case, but the designated areas that process information from your optic nerves can produce a distorted vision when tampered with, plus a theoretical belief known as Cerebralism defines that consciousness is a product of the brain) The brain is a fascinating organ, but theres a limitation to how much information the brain can store as well as how much information the brain can process altogether. Some say that the brain can only process up to 150 relationships in an average lifetime. Some say that you only use 10% of your brain every day. Those are both false, you can process more or less relationships depending on memory and if you happen to develop Alzheimers Disease or Dementia. You use more than 10% of your brain for metabolic functions such as gathering nutrients from food and producing Insulin to lower your blood sugar. The fastest speed that a person can press a button is at a rate of 16 presses per second. This is the record set by Takahashi Toshiyuki in 1985. If he could type at the speed of 16 keystrokes per second, then he would have a WPM of 192. (5 keystrokes = 1 WPM) The world record for WPM belongs to Barbara Blackburn with her top speed of 212 WPM (17.67 keystrokes per second). She was able to maintain a constant 150 WPM for 50 minutes (12.5 keystrokes per second, a document size of 1.46KB for Notepad, a document size of 11.0KB for Microsoft Word, and a document size of 1.65KB for Wordpad) There are many things that the human brain can process, but if anything, the speed of which your brain can receive and transmit nerve impulses is at 170 mph (273 km/h) in comparison to the speed of which someone types on a QWERTY keyboard. Each key is approximately 18 millimeters apart, and the speed of 17.67 keystrokes/second is equivalent to 5,301 keystrokes/hour or 95,418 mm/hr. (0.095418 km/h or 0.059289 mph) If you could type at the speed of which your brain can receive and transmit nerve impulses, then you will be capable of typing at an average of approximately 50,556 WPM. (1 WPM = 300 keystrokes/hour = 0.0054 km/h) Sources: Distance between QWERTY keys: https://osha.gov/SLTC/etools/computerworkstations/components_keyboards.html#design
