Hi! I started reading a lot about SETI recently. ( Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) I listen to a lot of Seth shostak's talks and quiet often he has said that the "modern day computers have the compute power of a spider or a lizard".
what exactly does this statement mean?
my computer can solve calculus problems, trigonometry problems etc etc. Obviously the modern day computers can do much more than a lizard can even think of doing.
So what exactly does it mean "modern day computers have the compute power of a lizard?"
Thank you
