Brain 555
How does the brain
work like the Internet?

I apologize in advance
for this oversimplification.
I may be using or misusing
outdated computer
and internet jargon.
Your brain has some similarity
to the Internet.
Your brain is much larger
in capacity than the brains
of 100,000 computers.
Think of the largest number
you have ever used.
That number is probably not close
to the number of gigabytes
of storage capacity in your brain.
"Hard drives?"
"Virtual memory?"
Your hard drives
contain billions
of Web sites
of different sizes.
Your brain stores and retains
all you hear and see in your files,
Web sites,
and back up files.
