juxtaposition

from the above picture we see that the things we used to do with the brain can be done on computer.
Brains are like computers, computers are like brains, you will often hear people comparing the most advanced bit of kit nature has produced with the best that mankind has managed so far. Sometimes the comparison gets personal and competitive. Do they work together in a brain like way? In short, is the World Wide Web becoming a kind of worldwide brain?
The World Wide Web has been created by the human brain since 1989. Which means the brain is more creative and active in that time. Nowadays we can see how World Wide Web is more available in all our needs, we can get more information in short time as how brain work but in more creative and faster ways.
It’s easy to make crude anatomical comparisons between the brain on one hand and the World Wide Web on the other. Where the brain has cells firing across synapses, while World Wide Web links computers over Ethernet cables, fiber-optic cables, or satellite links, and the World Wide Web uses hypertext links to connect one page to others. The brain is modular, with some degree of specialization between different regions, and works in parallel same thing goes to World Wide Web.
The Internet’s purpose is to carry information from one computer to another, while the World Wide Web is a highly dynamic repository of human knowledge. Start to ask how exactly the brain controls the body, and it’s immediately clear that brains have internal functions that resemble those of both the world wide web, they carry information ( like world wide web) and they’re active repositories of knowledge (like world wide web). Now it’s easy to see obvious parallels between, say, human memory and World Wide Web memory
But what about the World Wide Web? Does that function as a neural network? It’s certainly true that the World Wide Web consists of discrete points (websites) connected to other discrete points (other domains) by weighted links. Although, in principle, every link on the World Wide Web is the same as every other link, some links clearly carry more weight than others. So the World Wide Web has some of the structure of a neural network.
And in the end, all we can say that the Brain is Equal to the World Wide Web. Then again, we have to remember that this whole exercise of comparing the brain, the World Wide Web, and the WWW is simply an analogy and a heuristic.
WWW is one of the most important human inventions, which thanks to the human brain to create as an awesome idea as WWW.
