MAIN BRAIN FRAME

I was reading an article that says, by 2030, we could have computers that are faster and smarter than the human brain. They would create those computers by decoding and simulating the cerebral cortex. Sounds simple enough until you realize the cerebral cortex has around 22 billion neurons and 220 trillion synapses. That amount of brain power, of course, does not include the members of congress who have brains that are shoved up another part of their anatomy and don't appear to have any neurons or synapses at all.
