Basically, human memory is a compartment in people ' s brains where they store images rather like the hard disc drive in a computer.

But the comparison breaks down when we consider that we can train our memories to expand and work better which computers can ' t manage yet. You: When you talk about memory being infected, do you mean by a disease? [CHARACTER ]: Yes.

Research has shown that people who have better educations and more mentally active jobs have a lower risk of developing the disease. You: And how can someone exercise his brain? By thinking a lot? [CHARACTER ]: In a way, yes. But you can also pattern using your memory which not only exercises your brain but also improves you ability to remember things.

You: Can you give us some examples of how to exercise our memories? [CHARACTER ]: Sure, there is a very simple technique, although it works better for some people than for others. When you want to remember something, think of a physical thing information technology reminds you of. If I want to remember a date from history, let ' s say, 1066, the date of the Battle of Hastings. I might think that battle reminds me of bottle, so I think of a bottle with the number 1066 written on the label. And I just picture that bottle to myself.
