We know that contact with the world around us is a person, and even all living things are made through the organs we called - feelings. A person has only 5 of them - this is sight, hearing, taste, smell and tactile feelings.

But if the organs that provide our feelings are mechanisms, how can this be converted into information. After all, our brain can not listen, it can only understand information in the form of electrical impulses. For this, there is an extensive network of the nervous system, which delivers these impulses to the brain, for example, from the eyes or ears. This information is interpreted, read, and only after that it is given to our consciousness in the form of an image, sound, smell, taste, or sensation of touching.

I have not previously pointed out the pulses of information. Indeed, what we call a stream cannot be a continuous source of information. Everything in our world is discrete. And devices, cannot continuously perceive, process, transform and transfer something. So it is with our senses. The information we receive is dosed. Moreover, these doses are not large. It's like footage in the video. After all, the video does not exist - it only seems to us, because the number of frame-pictures is enough to merge into continuous motion. But still these are static pictures.
And we are no different from this method of obtaining information. We must receive static pictures or static information. It must have a beginning and an end so that our brain can understand and accept it to the union.

[*A neuronal action potential ("spike"). Note that the amplitude and the exact shape of the action potential can vary according to the exact experimental technique used for acquiring the signal.*](By <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Nir.nossenson&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Nir.nossenson (page does not exist)">Nir.nossenson</a> - <span class="int-own-work" lang="en">Own work</span>, <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0" title="Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=48019779">Link</a>)


And indeed, information that "wanders" through our neural networks is transmitted in the form of packets. Such packages can be compared with the gif. Its size is about 16 bytes, no more. Any information that our brain receives and can process should not exceed 16 bytes. If the information is more the brain is unable to understand it. Therefore, all information from the senses is divided into packages. And these packets are a series of moves in our brain, which processes it and gives out to our consciousness in the form of a continuous flow, in which the packets have merged into one because of their high rate of arrival.
All that we perceive is a set of gifs that have an image, smell, taste, sound and touch. And all this needs to be contained in 16 bytes. First break, and then send a pulse across the network of our nervous system.
Isn't man a car? Doesn't the computer or the robot do the same? A person agrees more sophisticated machine, but it is possible that people will soon learn how to create small automatic structures the size of a cage, and from them build machines the size of a person and with similar functions.

The truth is somewhere near.

[The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits, representing a binary number. Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte)

[The Graphics Interchange Format, better known by its acronym GIF (/dʒɪf/ JIF or /ɡɪf/ GHIF), is a bitmap image format that was developed by a team at the bulletin board service (BBS) provider CompuServe led by American computer scientist Steve Wilhite on June 15, 1987.[1] It has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF)


[A cyborg (/ˈsaɪbɔːrɡ/) short for "cybernetic organism") is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts. The term was coined in 1960 by Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg)
