Do you have any clue about human brain capacity; if not read this...

Per a scientific study, The human brain has an estimated storage capacity of 256 exabytes (or 256 billion gigs), the equivalent of 1.2 billion average PC hard drives, enough CDs to make a stack which would reach beyond the moon.

Mind

Do you have any clue how much percentage out of that a normal person uses?

Not even 3% of that 😁
A genius like Albert Einstein may have used less than 10% of his brain.

Isn't that amazing; what's your take on this fact?

    Only a simple mind blowing.

    One question that crosses every one is Why so much brain for a person who never uses the majority of it?

    With all puns apart, We program a computer to do tasks with the users knowledge and some task at the back end ( stuff like OS and other applications that you see active in your task manager). Similarly the human being's program needs so much memory space to store all his programs.

    If you are just using 3% of it actively the remaining 97% is used passively by all the parts and functions in our body.

    Without that back end support the Human machine will fail

    PS: Don't think we never use brain, It is being used even without our knowledge

    Right you are Samuel.
    It is a myth that the brain is unused.

    It is indeed a myth that we only use a fraction of our brain. A functional MRI is enough to show that we use all parts of our brain. Perhaps what the proponents of that concept want to imply is that on an average we only achieve a fraction of what our brain can potentially achieve.

    Now here is some practicality: did the guy who said that not even 3% of the brain is being used, at least try to use 100% of his own brain ?

    I use 100% of my brain all the time.
