Oh no, I am social. I don't like talking to other people I don't know, and I'm kinda shy. With me, I just have to get to know you a little, then I might talk. Also depends on how I feel about that person, such as if I get a bad feeling I might linger back a while. Also, I can remember everything, up to the age three, I remember everything basically.

I don't think its possible to unlock photographic memory. Yes, there are ways of improving your memory, even improving it greatly, but I believe that only people born with photographic memory have it, and it probably comes with large drawbacks. That's probably more right then what people give credit to. REAL photographic memory comes from savants. But the thing is you really wouldn't like to become a savant. Example: the real rain man can and does try to memorize everything possible. The problem is he can't even get himself dressed, and I think he can't even get a job because he lacks fine motor skills. People that like certain things can memorize them fast. If you like music, you love science you won't have trouble remembering what happened in class. Good memory can be developed though. My short term memory is just as good as anyone else's. But because of studing Japanese each day, and trying to remember 6-13 (at max 16 -18) worlds a day, my transfer of short term memory to long term is very good. That's not something I just developed over a week or month though. It took me like a year and some odd months to reach that level. |

People shouldn't just try to remember every little thing, unless it was some kind of memory contest. I'm presuming that that's what a savant is?

Some have different talents, but they sort of can't control them. It's like being given a gift and curse that you can't take back. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autistic_savant |

Ah, I see. I wouldn't like to be a savant then, because I think that remembering every little thing would be annoying, and why do they do it?

Some chose to remember everything because they can, like RainMan. Others can't help it. Some guy could tell you the weather of everyday in his life before he got hit with a baseball in the head. That guy can't control memorizing the weather. |

I think my sister has a photographic memory and she is only 5 Not saying she doesn't, but younger kids seem to have a lot more memory than everyone else, because they don't have any other memories to push, and because the brain is trained easier at that age. I remember when I was 5 I had tons of dinosaurs books and encyclopedias and I knew every dinosaur that ever existed. But as you get older, and you have a lot more memories, and your brain starts selecting which ones to pick you'll lose this ability. Eidetic memory is different from what you have Cu... At least I believa so... Unless you can tell me what were the clothes you were wearing 5 days after your third birthday, you could recite everyword a 80 page book has, in the exact same order the words were written. That's eidetic memory. What you have is just very good memory, but nothing above normal. Sorry but that's what eidetic memory is, like neopsychic said, in order for anyone to remember everything they would have to lose other brain functions, that's the real photographic memory. |

Oh, well people just normally call it photographic memory. But, I am very good at remembering things, and can usually in my mind turn back to my note pages in my head, and find the answer that I need.
