hedwards: My memory used to be a lot better. Ironically because of the ease with which things get stuck in my memory, I wind up having to deal with more polluted memories than other people do.
The worst thing for memory is the internet. Most people don't bother to try and memorize anything anymore as they can just look it up quickly.
Plus, I've had more than a few serious brain injuries over the years, so sometimes things just don't get stored properly.
Sorry to hear that, already all the best! The worst thing for memory is the internet. Most people don't bother to try and memorize anything anymore as they can just look it up quickly.

And no, sitting over a puzzle game and braking your head on the keyboard doesn't count! ;)
OK bad joking beside, AFAIK you can train your memory again (most of the time) to get as good as knew again (except lost memories of damage to those cells)
I somewhere read a medical paper that good old memory game is really helping with brain recovery. They used it on the worst case: Alzheimer-patients and those patients did show quite a bit of improvement, unfortunate the study was discontinued, what a surprise :(
Till know, can't say so, OK unfortunate I do have a good memory, but funny enough not for everything:
Nightmare for me: Birthdays, marriage (being killed already a few times ;) ), street-names.
Never can remember those, BUT phone numbers with the international prefix, no problem, same for like which shops are on a street, yep (even if I never visited them). technical docs, ways to drive to somewhere so all the boring stuff ;)
Reminds me, once after a few years I had to drive again a way, I drove like 2 years priro, no problem at all, didn't even needed a map ;)
