Einstein said that once, pretty smart guy. I remember days in school where memorization was the method to learning. The teacher says something, the student repeats, and the test questions were all the same memorization tasks required during class. At this point in our culture have we gotten to a point where human long term memory is no longer necessary?
It used to be that tribal history and methods for hunting food were passed down through oral traditions. Anymore I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast, let alone the history of my country. In only a few moments I can open a web browser and find the answer to almost any of life’s questions. Directions on how to live better, how to ride a bike, even a do it yourselfers guide to making a biodiesel engine.
