Chapter 8

Memory is very important in our lives. Memory is what allows us to function and learn. I think there are different kinds of memory because people who can memorize a whole phonebook aren't necessarily the smartest people in the world, I think the people that are can learn very quickly. If we didn't have memory we would not have to go to school because we wouldn't remember anything we learned anyway. Personally I think it would be intresting to live in a world where no one had any memory, life would deffintely be simpler. He is still Clive Waring, he still has a memory if it is only 20 seconds long. I don't really think differently about memory I found some answers to questions I had about my memory but it still astounds me how complex it is. I trust the memories that I have recently had but the ones from five to ten years ago, I just try to focus on the main parts because I feel I have forgotten alot of them. I think my brain tries to fill in the missing links with some of the short term things I remember. The part I found most intresting is echoic memory because this always happens to me. I'll ask someone a question about something I just heard and before they can answer, I see the word in head. Its weird how that works.
