- Does mobile gadgetry make a good memory less important? Ancient orators memorized entire books. Can we all remember everything if we so choose? Author Joshua Foer explored these questions during his quest to become a national memory champion.

This was Excellent Mnemonics rule.
20:17-21:20 was insightful.
Moonwalking with Einstein has been a fantastic read thus far. I've been following various memory techniques and my memory has been improving greatly.
So, what now!? What's the difference now that you have an enhanced memory buddy!? More money somehow!?
Malo Perverso Not necessarily, though there are people who've made a business of it. For me, it's mostly for fun, though it's also helped me to become more efficient as a grad student and a teacher, which I guess does translate to more money down the road. It's also helped me to remember the name of nearly every person I meet these days.
Just how good did your memory get!? Please give me some examples Graham!!! I might buy the book...
Malo Perverso It's hard to throw numbers at it. I can now memorize a list of up to 50 random objects or numbers and then recall them, in order, minutes or hours later. I haven't forgotten anyone's name, even if only meeting them for a few minutes, in the past few months. I've found that I have better recall when I read scientific articles (which I have to do just about every day). I've also found that I'm much better at remembering poems and speeches in their entirety, which is awesome for public speaking. I'm by no means one of the champions of memory, but I definitely feel like it's made a positive impact in my life. After reading Joshua Foer's book, I went on to read the Rhetorica ad Herennium, The Memory Book, and Memory Improvement: How to Improve Your Memory in Just 30 Days.
You read 4 whole books in only 30 days!? Holy Cow! And I bet you can remember everything on the pages, like name/quote the pages and stuff!? You remind somewhat me of Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting, LoL!
Great video, very helpful.
Inventio (latin), inventory (english) and invent (english). I like that point.
It is incorrect to say that people today don't highly value and respect good memory.
Some of the most popular videos on the web are stories of people with exceptional memories. We are in awe of people with great memories, but we don't focus on it because it is painful to our ego. We know that we don't have nearly the capacities of the man who memorized and painted rome... so we ignore it.
But we are all still in awe!
I've watched several of this guys speeches and interviews. I've yet to hear him give a good reason we need to memorize stuff.
Chuck Davis passing exams more easily
Chuck Davis A certain amount of intelligence is in how you interact with your memory, particularly short term memory, but also long-term. Improve memory and you improve a good chunk of intelligence.
Dr. Sweets :D

First !!
At aprox 17:35 we are told "not to try to remember a speech word for word as it is a recipe for disaster"...then kindly explain this...if an actor is doing a Shakespearian play and must speak exactly 1,500 words with not one error..how is his/her performance a "disaster"??? The late Mr.Kim Peek was a "memory mega-savant" so they do exist.
