The 1GB human memory thing has just gotta be the silliest thing I've heard from Famine. (edit: I'm not assuming he endorses the theory, but is just bringing it to our attention for fun).
Take (just for starters) - all of the incredibly detailed memories of say, inanimate objects in the world that you know exactly what they look/feel/sound like etc and try to fit that in 1GB. You know the 3D form down to incredible detail, colour/textural information...the way light hits it at different times of day... you know how things break and look from all aspects, are contructed etc etc... so much information that you don't even know you know!
Do you know how I can prove we remember WAAAY more information about the world than we think we do? DREAMS. They are so real we think we are there. For instance, I can walk around a perfectly rendered city of Melbourne filled with perfect looking cars/people/conversation (even in other languages I don't think I would even know how to approximate the sound of when I'm awake). This dream world is in all ways "real", until you wake up. As if a game console will do that with 1GB of media.
Sounds/voices/people you recognise in incredible detail... There is no way we can even start to compare the human mind with 1's and 0's. Its just silly to try IMO.
Sure, we can't remember things in a really mathematical way (apart from Famine and certain other people whom are crazy and easily remember the whole phonebook perfectly after glancing at it once (yes there is a fancy name for these folk but guess what - I can't remember it although I know it)). For instance, it takes me quite a while to remember (easily without thinking hard) even one new phone number, but that doesn't mean we don't store a hell of a lot of other information about our world. We just store it in a far more organic way than a computer.
It's couple of years old and is outdated. It doesn't have 720p, and has only composite or component inputs. I guess it's still above average though.
