The 1GB was explicitly referred to as your ROM. Sussman does not talk about the streaming data that hits you at run time.
meh... He referred to the 1GB a couple of times and I didn't hear he talk about how humans are much more complicated. Also [as an atheist], my point is not to argue against Sussman, but is to point out that calculating the storage requirements of a human is complicated. Putting aside all the guts, walking, eating, etc, we store an immense amount of information. What is incredible is that 1GB is what is required to specify the creation and evolution of the data structure necessary to become adult (and to die).
