Let Me Talk About the Brain
The Human Brain is an amazing phenomenon consisting of ten billion nerve units known As neurons., surrounded by mass (90 % by bulk) of a jellylike substance known as neuroglia (from the Greek word for glue, glia). Weighing about 3 lbs. in an average adult, the human brain is divided into three hemispheres, one of which is known as the temporal lobe which concerns itself with your emotions and memory.
With all the knowledge that science has acquired about the human brain there is still much that is unknown. We do know, however, that our brain processes more than 10 thousand thoughts everyday. Yet only a scant 3% of the brain is actually utilized.
Though people sometimes say that the human brain is far superior to any computer ever invented, it is actually unfair even to suggest a comparison to a computer. No computer, regardless of its tremendous sophistication, can rival the human brain with its vast scope of emotions and comprehensions. But there is one function of computers which sometimes wish the human brain had the ability to input a command which would erase or delete certain events which have been written indelibly on our memories.
