    Of course! Computers don't have bodies. They don't have the capacity of the functions of the brain. Everything in the brain is biological, including self repair. Computers don't work like brains. Brains are more complex and they are living organisms.

    Apparently the human brain is beyond comparison as far as it's ability to accept and process information.

    Yes people are.
    Computers can't think like a person can unless they are programmed to.
    Here is an example; most computers are not like this not but they used to be:
    You work at a company and you are looking up a customer you think is named Joe "White". The computer says "No such person". As far as the computer goes this person does not exist. It is because the computer ONLY looked for "White"; it can't think.
    But the person will think maybe it is "Whyte" and look that up.
