They are not necessarily vastly different. The calculator is a streamlined version of what brains do. There is so much lossiness in a brain with the same information stored again and again, because the brain is more susceptible to erosion than computer memory or a hard disk (or a calculator's internal registers).
Their process is also streamlined (it all works internally as binary) and every calculation works the same way. My brain doesn't. I never divide by five, for instance. Instead I double and then divide by ten, because it's quicker.
iin to think that technological process are built in mirror of humans?
