I have 30 Billion working parts and have a total storage capacity of around 4 million Megabytes ( 4 Terabytes ). My distributed network handles over 86 Million Bits of data every day via electrical signals syncronised by a data bus that operates at a frequency of 40 cycles per second, or 40 Hz. I can process 100,000 Pixel images in focus @ 25fps in 2 Million colours...

What am i?

As far as I can see .... a sponge ... I mean, a human rolleyes.gif

a human?

It can't be a human- nobody knows for sure the real storage capacity of a human brain. 4 TB would just be a guess.

My guess, Data from Star Trek laugh.gif

or the fps of our eyes!

Let me guess... something to do with SETI?

not seti, your all sooo close.

Cmon, its obvious i got it right away.

It IS the human brain, and 4tb is a guess, as it says "around 4tb"

25fps is the top frame rate your brain can detect from the signals sent by your eyes, correct!

human doesent count, close but not the right answer! tongue.gif

Sounds close the human specs.
But the visual capabilities of the average human eye are much greater than you stated. The average eye can process at least 10 mega pixels at once.

I know there is considerable coverage of this topic in Andrew Glassner's Principles of Digital Image Synthesis

There was also a lengthy discussion of this topic in the technical documentation that came with my IBM T221 monitor and the reason they explained why the IBM engineers chose 204 DPI as the resolution was that it is the limit of visual acuity at typical viewing distances. I have no problem in seeing all of it's 9.2 MegaPixels at once.
I can even plainly see the couple of dead green and blue subpixels that IBM assure me that nobody could ever possibly see. And my vision is by no means perfect...
