In what sense? Computers have always been much faster than the human brain for some operations. The first computer, ENIAC, was much faster than the humans it replaced. Computers are now becoming faster at pattern recognition, which is remarkable. A few years ago they were still much slower. The human brain does that sort of thing with parallel processing, comparing an image to all images in the brain simultaneously. In the 1980s, this was done on computers with associative memory. Nowadays I assume it is done with parallel processing. > A PC chip will be planted in the brain that will provide health > monitoring, internet communications, added memory storage and computational > power. > I very much doubt that anyone will learn how to routinely and safely implant a PC chip anytime soon! There are experiments with implanted devices in paraplegic patients. They are promising but dangerous. The equipment is barely capable of sorting out signals, and it can only do a few signals, such as "raise arm." - Jed
