Do you have complete clarity? Do you have total recall? Probably not, otherwise you would be reading how to speed-read. Most likely, you are reading how to sharpen short-term memory because you haven't mastered this task in life yet. Well, that's ok because many other people are trying to master the task also. You are not alone.

As we work toward sharpen our mind we can consider total recall, memory and remembering. Total recall is the power, sense, or ability to remember in complete details while having complete clarity. Memory is the power of the mind to process and reproduce information gathered and to recall it later. Remembering is the process of keeping information in mind for later considerations.

The mind works like a computer in the sense that it gathers information for processing later. Therefore, to help you gain complete clarification to call up specific details later we can compare computer memory to the mind.

Random Access Memory (RAM) is memory that works like the long-term mind, since it provides the central internal luggage compartment (storage) area for data it receives. The memory or information is stored in this area of the mind or on a computer so that the user can pull up the information anytime he/she wishes to do so. The Read-Only memory (ROM) on computer hard drives stores programs, which cannot be changed by a user. This ROM area is similar to the short-term and long-term memory combined. Why, well because the ROM area of the computer is a smaller version of memory where only important details exist in the memory. The short-term memory by passes the storing of information as it only holds the information for a few seconds. The long-term on the other hand stores the information permanently. In other words, information usually bypasses ROM (short-term memory) and is sent to RAM (long-term memory) for storage.

Now, if the information stored on a computer is contaminated, or mislead in some way the computer will send out screen memory. Screen memory in the human mind works in a way that a Virus or other harmful critter coming from the Internet works. That is the memories are a recollection or early data (childhood) that might have been incorrectly recalled or the information may be magnificently of importance that it masks other memories of deeply ingrained memories coming from the emotions that are significant to the receiver.

Now, virtual memory for computers is an external connector that assists the computer in storing data. Rather an associating storage externally works internally with the computers virtual storage memory. Likewise, the mind works in similar route, since we have external associating that triggers meanings, which in turn sharpens the memory by adding additional information to the memory. In other word, external associating memories are waiting outside, waiting to send a signal to the hard drive (long-term memory) to help it recapture details.

The cache of computers stores hidden information, which resembles the short-term mind since the cache has a short time span for holding memory. The short-term memory holds information for a few seconds. The cache then is a secured environment for storing information, making it a meaningful area of consideration for sharpening the memory.

Now ask self do you have clarity of how the short-term memory works in union with a computer. Do you understand the messages between the lines that will help you move toward sharpening your memory? If not then you do not have clarification, nor do you have total recall, which brings us to the option of asking you to read this article again
