Brain Power

The human brain continuously uses roughly 20 watts of power. That adds up to about 0.48 killowatt hours of energy per day. 

The energy requirements of the human  brain is so low, it can be compared to low powered devices than run off a USB socket. Things like a desk fan, hand held games consoles, light bulbs and routers. 

The human brain hosts consciousness itself and body life support and countless thoughts and image processing all in tandem.
