I could use a complete defrag and a larger L1 cache.

I know my hard drive is getting full and I’m a little short on RAM

We came to this conclusion a while back. We're in the 65-70 age group. I still work and do some serious mathematics every day. So does my best bud.

We were talking on the phone and tried to recall something trivial....who played Captain Kirk...we BOTH said....darn...I know who you mean. And of course we could picture him.

We dropped it and went on to our next subject...all of a sudden, it was like pulling a card out of an index file....and I could see the name William.

Then my bud chimed in.....Shatner.

And that's what happens when you're old.

I believe we actually shove trivia into a trivia file when we get older and THAT'S WHY it takes so long to recover...it's in the brain's junk drawer.

This may explain a couple of things why as I have gotten older my mind "seems" to not be quite as sharp....cache is full...

Doesn't explain my short term memory...though...

Where are my keys?
What time do you get off work again ?
What's for dinner again ?

Cute theory and analogy, but I think there are limits to comparing the human brain to a disc-drive. This article has passed those limits.

I knew that.

Also, people in their fifties and sixties are better at their jobs than college grads cause they have more life experience to process scenarios against to come up with the BEST solution. Kids might be faster because their slates are empty and info is kept in certain parts of the brain. As you age, you use more areas of the brain.

I believe this. Storing it away for future recall if I can remember where I store it!

That’s been my theory all along.....Our brains aren’t limitless in their memory banks so it’s natural that short term memory starts forgetting things due to limited storage capacity..........

Will emptying our cache work? Or only our bank account?
