Memory

It's a fascinating thing, really. Human minds in general are, but memory is often what really gets me thinking. There are those people who never forget anything. If they have a favorite tv show and the new episode gets canceled, so an old episode is aired in its place; they simply won't watch. On the other hand we have people who can barely remember to put their socks on every morning who would thoroughly enjoy that rerun as if it were the new episode; because they do not remember seeing it in the first place. Then you have the people in-between these two extreme examples. The ones who would be content to watch because they only remember vague details about the show and the ones who almost completely forget until you remind them and are therefore happy to watch.
