If you get that, LOL @ me, because.... ;P
The average brain has around 100 billion brain cells (neurons) that’s 100,000,000,000 brain cells. Human Neuron like a bit of data? Each neuron is functionally connected to around 1000 neurons. If wee assume that neurons have either an ‘on’ or ‘off’ state (digital logic although, not unsuprisingly, wee have reason to believe that brain storage uses analogue voltage ‘levels’ rather than digital logic for storage) wee can then assume that each neuron can ‘read or write’ 1000 neurons essentially 1000 bits or 0.122 kilobytes of data. Assuming that this ‘data’ ripples through the brain in a steady state manner, wee can assume that the average amount of ’storage capacity’ is hence 100,000,000,000 by 0.122 kilobytes, or 122 million (122,000,000) kilobytes. If wee convert that figure to gigabytes, wee arrive at the sum of 116.34 Gigabytes of data in digital terms.

you can't really put our memory into perspective. a 120gb ipod could hold arond 2160 songs. I'm sure i could remember around that much?

That is 124,919,123,804.16 letters or 2,491,912,400 words (about).

116.34GB isn't even much!!!!!
Yeah, I'll wait for my 20 Brontobyte memory card I just ordered, because I need a very small upgrade.
