Memory is an
essential part of our daily lives, and it comes in two main forms:
short-term and long-term memory. Short-term memory helps us hang onto
information for a little while, like when we jot down a phone number.
Long-term memory, on the other hand, lets us hold onto important events,
such as our graduation day. However, some individuals face memory challenges,
like amnesia, which can make them lose recent memories. Alzheimer’s disease and
dementia are also serious conditions that affect many older adults. Factors
that can impact our memory include age, stress, and emotions. For example, if
we’re feeling stressed out, it’s much harder to remember things. Getting
enough sleep is crucial because it helps our brains store memories. In school
and at work, using effective memory techniques can help us succeed. However,
technology can be a double-edged sword; while apps can boost our memory,
they can also distract us if we’re not careful. (155 words)
