This is not done with a simp...
  • Short Term And Long Term Memory
    1,142 words
    Memory Memory is the vital tool in learning and thinking. We all use memory in our everyday lives. Think about the first time you ever tied your shoe laces or rode a bike; those are all forms of memory, long term or short.

Life would be absent and bare of the richness of it happy or sorrow. Many scientists are still unsure of all t...

    Reach for the sky One day last November I spent a long sad afternoon prowling around the perimeter of the smoking ruins of the World Trade Centre, trying to take in the horror of what I was seeing, exchanging numb civilities with equally shell-shocked strangers. I saw my own bewilderment's reflected in the eyes of those who had gathered at the site - not, I believe, as voyeurs, but out of a graver, more honourable compulsion to bear witness. In the rather different aspect of those who came here ...
