When aged people speak hat the world used to be great, I think it is true because some years ago people enjoy more the life, for exaple, chlidren went out for play with their friends on the street. However, nowadays with the technology children prefer stay at home chating with their friends and playing computer games. The technology isn't so bad, it has much adventages, but now the advantages and disadvantages of technology isn't the theme.

Although not all the bad memories are forgotten. People wonder if there is a pill to forget bad memories and there are some investigation for discovered how we can forget some memories.
There is a difference between memory and souvenir and it is that memory is he process in which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved and souvenir is an object a person acquires for the memories the owner associates with it.

ResponderEliminarDo you imagine you can delete your negative, sad and unpleasant memories? Today it is possible.
ResponderEliminarMemory allows us to store and recuperate information that we process in our day to day.
When we experience something a neuronal connection is created in our brain, and when that experience is more traumatic or painful, more connections occur.
Memories are the film that we build with the images and feelings that we have stored in our memory.
Really do we need to delete bad memories? I don't think so, many of our negative memories make us be like we are are in fact we don't want to delete them. Moreover, the negative experiences help us to make decisions in the future about important things.
From my point of view, I think that memories should only be used to delete traumas, since the rest of negative memories define us like people, they serve as a reference and help us in our continuous improvement.
We usually remember the good times before the bad ones, because we want or in an unconscious way, but before, life was harder, with more lacks and sorrows.
