If there was nobody around (including me), I'd still be making sounds because sometimes I can only breathe through my left nostril and my joints pop when I move. I sound like Homer Simpson in church when they're all praying and he's whistling through his nose until Ned Flanders screams: "Breathe through your *darned* mouth!!!"

Computers measure memory in terms of bits and bytes, Kb, kb, megabytes, terabytes and so on...so how much memory would there be in the average human brain if we tried to measure it in these terms?

Great answer!

How much memory would there be in the average human brain if we tried to measure it in these terms. Well...first of all, Is there such a thing as an "average human" ...well, anything? And, secondly, the answer to that might vary considerably by say, age of the brain, health of the person housing the brain, experiences that the person housing the brain has had, common stresses on the brain, ... like...children, jobs, driving...age, experiences, health. Sorry...I have no idea. I think I would personally rather not measure memory. And just be thankful that bad memories seem to fade and good memories seem to get sweeter with the passage of time. And leave it at that.

When you were in kindergarten, did your mother walk you to school every day?
