Memory

'If you always Tell the Truth, you don't have to remember anything'. May not be totally valid, depending on what the individual regards as the Truth. Without many of us realising what is happening, computers are taking over our human memory function. What urges us to commit something to memory these days? If it's a very private item, it may well not be in the database for us (and other folk) to retrieve. Otherwise, it's there in the system somewhere so we don't need to remember it. Does this mean, if it's so, that we are losing our brain power at an exponential rate (accelerating brain-fade)? We still need to think, but computers can think too. Easy to say: 'Garbage in, garbage out' but a good deal of the data that is logged on the web nowadays is hardly garbage! Guess it's a bit about how we, as humans, will evolve into the distant future. The human brain may well have shrunk to the size of a walnut, computers (or their successors) run everything, and as for animals, insects and sea creatures, who knows?
