LEARNING HACK OF THE DAY: USE YOUR MEMORY MORE

What is the name of the actor who played Speed in “CSI Miami?” What is the capital of Montana? What is the name of the cat who was the “Napoleon of cats” in the musical “Cats”?

We used to have to try to get the answer from our memories when a questions like that came up. The question might bug us until we could look it up. Nowadays the Internet lets us look up these answers instantly. How will the Internet change our memories? A good way to keep your memory sharp is to review school or recent learning in your mind. I do this when I'm walking the dog or doing the dishes or folding laundry. And if someone comes up to you and asks who sang, “Who put the Bomp in the Bomp Bomp Bomp?”? You should try to remember before you start to google.

Who was George Bush's running mate in 1988?

What two Republican candidates ran against Bill Clinton for the presidency?

What was the name of the television program starring Johnny Depp as a young undercover police officer?

What movie won the Academy Award for best film last year?
