Brain vs Computers


As you all know, brain is a complex and a sophisticated organ in the human body. How the brain works and how thoughts are generated is still a mystery to many scientists. 

Computers, Applications and Programs on the other hand are programmed the way a user needs them. If programmed correctly a computer performs the tasks as expected with almost no errors or mistakes. 

Human brain on the other hand does make mistakes when given certain tasks and you may not expect a 100% accuracy of results from the human brain. 

However the main highlight of the human brain is the ability to process information. 
Suppose you would like to retrieve the information of a customer from the database. A software can fetch the complete details of the customer based on the data stored in the database. Apart from that, the data can also be retrieved from many other structured and unstructured sources like say from social media. By making use of these data, a computer can retrieve all the information of a customer only based on how those information is stored in various system. Information such as what is the current interest, desire, goals, objectives of the customer may not be available for a computer. 

Certain personal details of the customer regarding their mental and emotional status can only be achieved by direct human interaction. So in short, any task related to the creativity, emotional thinking, critical thinking, planning etc can be achieved better only by the human brain. Whereas when it comes to a fixed logical operation on huge volumes of data, the computer would be able to process and perform results in a very faster pace than even many humans put together.
