This is my corner... If you're looking for trouble, please leave me alone...
I just watched a video by CBS news called "endless memory" which is a documentary about people in the world who have perfect memory. They would have absolutely no problem in recounting the events of any particular day / date you state.
According to one of the 5 subjects, the ability to remember comes naturally like an image in her head. Apparently, all of them displayed signs of having obsessive-compulsive disorder in various manners such as organising their shoes or clothes in a specific way or having to wash their keys immediately after dropping them on the floor.
I think the most striking discovery was the possible correlation between having perfect memory and developing relationship issues. 4 out of 5 subjects were single and the only one who was married actually remarried 3 times.
Wouldn't it be so helpful if you could remember everything that's being taught to you or studied? There would be no difficulties in the academic portion of our lives and you can even hold interesting and long conversations with other people.
You know, we've been exposed to this theory that as long as we remember and study the horrible things that have happened in the past, we would be able to learn from past mistakes and avoid same experiences. Is that really true? Then again, it's probably really horrible to be able to vividly remember every terrible experience from the past. I'm sure we've all had moments in life that were either too embarrassing or too painful to want to remember.
An additional finding was that scientists used to believe that we forget in order to prevent our minds from being too clogged up but after listening to the 5 subjects, their memories are kept in a very organised manner which doesn't affect them the way we thought they would be affected. In fact, a man with perfect memory even claimed that he finds joy categorising every memory. This actually goes to prove how theories are just theories without scientific evidences.
Such an amazing ability if fallen into the wrong hands would result in great tragedies. "With great power comes great responsibility!" - Voltaire (not Uncle Ben)
I'm still puzzled why these people do not use their gift to spam knowledge?
Does it mean that they do not have photographic memories?
