I agree on your point that computers are better to store bit strings andYou get really interesting computing equipment like that when your Research and Development Department has an infinite budget, a time deadline of many millions of years, and can throw out billions of unsuccessful experiments, and even lots of successes, without having to explain why to anyone. Also when the researchers don't have to defend their work against any prevailing Theories of what's possible and what works and what doesn't. You get really interesting computing equipment like this just because some of it manages to make its way to another part of the savannah for a date on Saturday night.
other "exact" data. What I mean with faces etc. is that we remember much
things that we do not think we are remembering. We can recognize a small
detail of a face we haven't seen for years in a blurry photograph, and say
"oh, that's my old friend". It would seem plausible to me that we remember
quite a lot of things but only in a different way than computers.A computer's memory is basically a collection of, say, 1,000,000,000
flip-flops.A human's brain consists of billions of interconnected neurons, and the
interconnections form the memories. You cannot compare these two models
easily.--
