Research suggests we do not remember as people did some many thousand years ago. Back then, people memorized whole stories and songs. After all, how did the bible record a story some 80 years after Christ died?
Today, we don't memorized whole stories or events. We memorize keywords and significant phrases. The process of memorization is more based in that different process. Then humans fill in the gaps by consulting radical and new technologies that have only recently been developed. Including books, files, and computers.
The common man once was not even allowed to read the bible. These new technologies have changed the brain; how man remembers.
Also suggested was that due to so much excessive sugar, humans do not have the memory capacity once found in humans a thousand years ago. Excessive sugar has been proposed as a source of diminish memory capacity. No problem. Disk drives are on a sugar free diet of pure electricity.
