Memory

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Memory is the system by which information is encoded, stored, and later retrieved.

Show

A phone number heard once, held while walking to a desk, and written down passes through all three operations.

Watch for

Memory is not a recording. Each of the three operations can fail independently and can distort what survives.
