Forgetting

                Many people think that the human mind is too complex to explain, and memory is no exception. Even though vast amounts of research have been carried out into how we remember (and forget things, nobody knows for sure the model on which human memory is based. The human store the information in their memory, but they are unable to remember what they want when they need to remember. For example, sometimes they forget where they put the car key when they want to go out.

                There is some science said that forgetting things is useful for our brine. “Your brain needs to forget things that are no longer useful. And this forgetting is inevitable, it is useful, and it is adaptive because it clears your memory for things that are more relevant. The problem, however, is that in the process of all of this memory purging, our brain often forgets important information” By Sue Halpern

                “Everyone is always bragging about the power of the human brain. So if it is so darned powerful, why does it fail so often? Why do we forget 90 percent of what we learn within one week? From the perspective of a neuroscience, this question speaks to a fundamental misunderstanding about the brain and about forgetting. Whereas most people think of forgetting as a failure of memory, “I forgot because my memory failed,” in professional neuroscience, forgetting is not thought of as a failure at all. Instead forgetting is thought of as a natural, adaptive, and even desirable activity” By Art Kohn.

                People must know the point here is that your brain needs to forget things that are no longer useful.  This forgetting is inevitable, it is useful, and it is adaptive because it clears your memory for things that are more relevant.
