Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to boost our memory banks like we do with computers? Slap an extra stick of memory into the back of my head and I am good to go. I find that as I get older, and as I gather more and more memories, I find that I have to scramble a bit more to remember certain things. Names of people that I have known for years slip my mind. Of course, when I do not see the person for a year in between, I guess that has something to do with it, but I hate that!
I used to work for Reynolds Web Solutions as a Web Designer, and Steve was the owner of an ecommerce software company. He ended up working with us for almost two years and I got to know Steve pretty well. Others knew him as “the smoking man”. He spent a good amount of time in front of the building smoking.
Steve left Reynolds and I didn’t see him for about two or three years. He shows up at my cubicle three or four months ago and I can’t remember his name. “Uh, Um, hi, how you doing!?” He knew I had forgotten his name. I know I hadn’t seen him for a long time, but that drives me crazy!
If I could just buy some computer memory for the human mind, that would be nice.
