The Brain vs Google (How to Get More From Ourselves)






We have all heard the old myth that as been quoted and missed quoted for centuries now you know that famous one that says  most  humans  only use up 10% of their brain, now while some of us would love to believe this myth so we can blame it on some of our short comings the claim is just not true.


 Although it's true that at any given moment all of the brain's regions are not concurrently firing, brain researchers using imaging technology have shown that, like the body's muscles, most are continually active over a 24-hour period. Evidence would show over a day you use 100 percent of the brain.


The reason why we often don't get more out of our selves or our brain is because of one simple fact lazy, yes I said it laziness as allows us reduce a 100% active fully functional 3 lb brain to size of  a sheep's brain (about 0.3 lb) no wonder why some times they call us sheeple (Bah baa baa baaah),  bleating like a sheep right now.  LOL!


Well enough sheeping around (baaah!). It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain and that most of the brain is active almost all the time, Lets just put it this way, the brain represents three percent of the body's weight and uses 20 percent of the body's energy.


What an amazing power house we have between our two ears, it is presumed that Google's worldwide computing capacity is an astounding 5 petabytes but surprisingly the human brain is an amazing 2.5 petabytes but here is where the brain beats Google super computers it does not separate processing from storage, they are intertwined so in essence Google took over  thirteen years and $190 billion in revenue later to try catch up to the processing power of a single human brain.


Tell me do you start feeling any smarter yet? You should ( baah), so the next time some one comes to you and say some stupid stuff like you only use 10% of your brain tell them to just shut up. I often wonder, what would Einstein say if he was here? 


He would probably say something like this, “Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death” (using Einstein's voice) .


Which is fact truth, we have to start training our brain to channel our energy more positively and stop wasting such great power with a little practice we can eradicate this laziness and increase our processing efficiency, hey if Google can train a bunch of machine to do it then what say us. 


I have discovered a simple exercise that as shown me dramatic results and  all you have to do is this,  Memorize something everyday. Not only will this leave your brain sharp and your memory functioning, you will also have a huge library of quotes to bust out at any moment. Poetry, sayings and philosophies all at your will, begin today your brain will love you for it.
