SEEING THE TREND. MAKE YOUR CONCLUSIONS. BY ANDRES AGOSTINI

“supercomputers [as of 1999] match at least the hardware capacity of the human brain….the computational capacity of a $ 4,0000 computing device (in 1999 dollars) is approximately equal to the computational capability of the human brain (20 million billion calculations per second)….[that is to say, 20,000,000,000,000,000,000 calculations per second]…..”
