What is memory? How does memory work? Can we trust our memory? Do our memories stay the same or do they change over time? Why do we seem to remember somethings better or more clearly than others? Do we choose what to remember? Memory is something that has been carbed in your head for as long as you can remember. It can also be something that you can’t never forget, or it can be sad, trajic, horrible, even a night mare. Memory works by our brain. The brain works in a specific way that other scientist or doctors may be able to explain. It’s like a computer. You have to reset the computer every once in a while, other wise it might loose information that’s really important. But the thing about computers is that it stays there permanantely. Us humans, in the other hand, we seem to have difficulty remembering what we need. Even the most important things we forget. I wouldn’t trust in my memory aslong I’m a 100% sure of it. When it comes to tests, my memory is not very good. But that doesn’t happen in all tests. Math test are very clear, my memory is very good at math tests. I think that our memories do change from time to time. Many people forget things easily because they don’t practice it or they just don’t repeat it in their heads in any other way. For example, me, I use to play the key board, not that good but I knew how to play a cupple of songs in it. It’s been three years that I haven’t touch a piano or a key board, and now that I finaly got it out of my closet, I don ‘t remember anything. But I’ll come back.
When our memories remember certain things better that others, it might be because we haven’t experienced it before and when we try new things, that’s why it stays in our minds. I remember the first time I wen to Universal Studios, or when I wen to Disney Land, or my first time going to the Casino. Those are good and very nice memories. But there’s been very bad and unforgetable memories that I have in my head and I just can’t seem to forget about it. At the time, I think that even unforgetable and horrible memories can help you through out your life. We don’t chose what to remember but other times it depends. When we want to remember something really important or a use for a test, we practice it or write it down a cupple of times to make sure that we know it by heart and we don’t forget it. I my opinion, I’ts up to us if we want to remember or not, but some times we remember it atomatically.
