Common current computing can greatly ease the effort to "remember" what have read, written, thought, learned, etc.
E.g., to help "remember" I have a general purpose file that I read/write with my favorite text editor and with some surprising statistics:
Date started: September 2nd, 2005
Number of entries: 8412
Number of lines: 60,436
Number of bytes: 4,736,380
Really simple. Works really well.
A little laptop computer
handles this file
for zero apparent effort.
Of course, a lot more can be done,
e.g., something like everyone having a Google just for their own life, but it is shocking how much can be done with just the statistics here.
I agree. As I explained to my sister in law, I try to stay with just plain text. Pushed to something else has me tempted to scream, say loudly enough to blow down trees for a radius of 20 miles.
