 Can People Be Described As Computers?
Think about it:
Long-term memory is the Hard Disk.
Short-term memory is the RAM.
Vision is the Graphics Card.
Intelligence is the CPU.
Your CV is the brand.
Your health is the price.
Your sexiness is the case.

I was thinking more along the lines of model-range. For example high-end. No worries , you gave me an idea.

but people can due true multitasking... we can hold and think about multiple things at the same time. A computer needs a different CPU for each 'thought' it's processing at once.

But we only consciously process one task at a time.

.... can you please back that ascertion with proof? I don't know about you, but I'm rarely thinking about just one thing at a time. The majority of my attention may be focused on a specific task, but I usually have several different thought processes all running simultaneously.
And that, of course, is only the conscious thought. There's all kinds of subconscious mental activity all the time.

Undoubtedly. But we only consciously concentrate on one task at a time.

I don't want to barge in here, but isn't the idea of comparing humans to computers and vice versa really old? In fact, you could say that we couldn't craft something that works differently than we do, because it requires thinking outside of the human box.
