This is the most interesting article I have read on JT. Ever.

Thank you. I would enjoy seeing more like this.

Encouraging article for people like myself, whom easily forget what they had for lunch a day ago...
But from my own experience, I agree with the author's conclusions. When I was younger, I could remember lots of things in fairly large detail. Nowadays, I am immersed daily in an ocean of information, so I remember stuff much more vaguely. However and importantly, I've noticed that my mind abstracts the important bits from information junk, and especially work-related, I remember the main point of a certain topic, while forgetting all the details. Which is probably good, even if I wish I could remember more stuff sometimes

We need more articles like this on JT. Informative and without an agenda.
Now where did I put my keys...
