What if we use 100% of our brain?!

I recently watched this movie titled, Lucy. Concept is similar to another Hollywood movie, Limitless. A pill increases your brain usage / IQ. I was wondering, how can people think we do not use brain 100%?

Then I realised that its a popularly believed myth that we do not use 100% of our brain. While in Limitless, it was shown that the characters who consume the pill increase their IQ by organising information well it is close to reality.

While in Lucy there is a scene, where she keeps typing on a laptop at a rapid pace and the machine responds! How ludicrous. All of us know that Software and hardware development do not go hand in hand. Then, as the movie ends, once Lucy attains 100% of her brain power, she disappears, now we are forced to believe that she is equivalent to God or whatever your can imagine using your at the max....10% of brains!

But seriously imagine (try)...you're not using your computer and your processor is idle. You start your system and try opening couple of applications (or processes). CPU will be used to process data. At one point, 100% of your CPU could be used, that wont make the system disappear.

If there is something which I liked about the movie Lucy was the more she starts using her brain, she becomes aware of the surroundings. I partially agree here. In other words, you use your brain 100% if you're a fully fit and functional human, but the more you discipline your mind the more you become aware of the surroundings, organise information properly and will be able to focus on doing things clearly in minimal time and effort. This was always known and you can achieve by Yoga or Meditation. So meditate or train your brain by keeping it active and young by solving puzzles, Sudoku, Crosswords, playing chess / games, learning a language etc., 

Who cares about IQ!!
