My memory has never been as good as I frequently needed and as I became older it seems to have gotten worse, although this may have been because there is a great deal more to remember. Google has been a treasure for me as even the most fragmentary peripheral reference can evoke a wealth of material to refresh my recollections. One of the problems with Alzheimer’s is that sufferers have memory links destroyed by their deterioration and have difficulty re-establishing those links by new internal references which would re-integrate their recall capabilities. Google is, of course, a fund of public memory but the same system of cross reference should be possible for personal memories with the same supplementation that Google has with images. Although Alzheimer’s is, at yet, incurable, it has been noted that active mental exercise seems to defer somewhat the worst consequences of the disease and the system of setting up a personal Google might be of great benefit to sufferers and a stimulant to the active mental exercise that could help people now afflicted..
