We often write about memory loss, so it’s a rarity for us to write a post focusing on a memory genius; let alone one that’s only two years old!
According to recent reports, Rockford Ramirez of San Diego has already memorised all 44 American presidents in order as well as every US state and its capital. What’s more his knowledge is self taught from a smartphone!
The toddler was only 18 months when he picked up his parents’ iPhone and began to memorise information contained in a selection of apps. His mother, Raquel Ramirez, says the tiny genius breezed through the apps helping him accelerate his learning.
Unfortunately the majority of us aren’t blessed with a photographic memory and in a bid to dispel popular belief, neither are our computers. It’s all very well to save data to your hard drive, but this doesn’t mean it’s imprinted permanently. As we all know, an accidental wipe of a hard drive can leave you facing extreme data loss.
That’s why it’s always smart to protect yourself with an online backup service, like Carbonite, to ensure that you never fall foul to data loss. You don’t even have to be a boy wonder like Rockford to work that out!
