Brain simpler than Microsoft Word - pundit

FUTURIST RAY KURZWEIL told 700 people at the Georgia Technology Summit that PCs as we know them will disappear by 2010.

They'll be replaced by computers woven into our clothing and eventually might include robotic white blood cells in our bloodstream, with digital mapping of the brain by 2030.

The brain, said Kurzweil, is comparatively easy to map because its design is in the genome. The genome has little complexity with only 30 to 40 million bytes of information - less than Microsoft Word. µ
