However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forgetformation they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos" don't just say "Hello". Repeat the person s name. Say "______".Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts——109/2447153—it becomes easier.Write out what you need to remember again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas(公式) or facts.Always receive information.
