The Human Brain

Not long ago we asked Mr. A. E. Smith of the Bell
Telephone Company whether he thought that the bounds

of man’s curiosity might not finally be determined by |

the limits of his intellect. Already, in the more difficult

areas of research, “matter” in the form of computers
has taken over from mind.

But Mr. Smith was optimistic. He suggested that
the human brain is capable of much more than it has
yet revealed, that if a computer were to be built with
enough tubes to match the brain cells of a man it would
take the Empire State Building to house it, Niagara Falls
to power it, and the Niagara River to cool it. A fully
employed brain could retain the accumulated knowledge
of 90 million books. — Ross, Knowles Bulletin.
