According to this chart, we are looking at 2020 as the date when a supercomputer exists that can simulate/model a human brain in real time:
If the trend holds, then it follows that by 2030 a super computer will exist that can simulate a brain 10x more complex than a human brain. And by 2040, a supercomputer will exist that can simulate a brain 100x more complex then a human brain.

So what do you think will happen over the decades following the day a supercomputer is capable of simulating a brain as complex as a human brain?
