No, we are not essentially computers.  You won't find in our brand and gates,
or gates, flip-flops, microcode.  Our memory works completely different, as
does our processing.  We don't work in binary, or definite, strict logic.  Our
brain uses a vastly different model, so any comparison which goes into more
depth than "electrical signals" is useless.  Computers don't understand
context, aren't conscious, and cannot think.  They don't fall for visual or
auditory illusions.

I think when we map how the brain works, we will see that it works using an
alien computation model to what our machines do.
