Whenever these comparisons of brains and computers come up, I am reminded of Freud's comparison between the brain and the steam engine.
People think about the world (and brain in this case) in terms of what they are familiar with. Today computers are ubiquitous and we try to see computers in nature. In 100 years it will be something different and we'll try to imagine the brain like that.
