Technology in the Brain

Technology adapts just by fixing the faults of its predecessor to create a near perfect successor. As we all know nothing is perfect and it is impossible to not find faults in a piece of technology therefore making it an entity. Like evolution, technology follows the guidelines of the rule of "survival of the fittest". A specific organism with a mutation survives due to its advantage over other organisms. The best and most efficient form of technology to facilitate a given situation is the one that society chooses and therefore buys. The advantage in a mutated organism runs analogous to technology's constant improvements.

Our brain is constantly adapting to its surroundings by creating new connections. Connections are made by the brain cell's neurons making new connections through its dendrites. The site of a connection to another neuron is called a synapse and there are billions of synapses in a human brain. When we learn a new concept or relate two things to one another there are a plethora of neurons connecting to one another. Unique concepts that are understood in a brain are represented by unique connections between neurons. When we mentally adapt to a routine or situation I believe that through repetition and time new connections between neurons are made.

The engineer for the BMW M3 took the previously made model, found its flaws, and fixed them. What does this look like in the brain? My theory is the following. As previously stated, certain concepts in the brain contain a unique collection of neurons connected through synapses. The must be at least a million in the amount of neurons connected through synapses. These millions of neurons that represent the knowledge of a model like the 1990s M3 are given and then through processes like work and time(drawing boards, testing, finding the best fit pieces for improvement on the new M3) are then rearranged to form a new design such as the 2000s M3 model. After this, the new M3 model like the one created in the twenty first century has its own set of unique synapses.
