| The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica. Or any other encyclopedia for that matter. Scientists have yet to settle on a definitive amount, but the storage capacity of the brain in electronic terms is thought to be between 3 or even 1,000 terabytes. The National Archives of Britain, containing over 900 years of history, only takes up 70 terabytes, making your brain’s memory power pretty darn impressive. And I thought my i pad was impressive | |

| Your head can store it but finding/recalling the info at will is not instant and the more you store the longer it takes to find it.Now where did I leave those balls again | |
