memory is measurably different today
for example, in Iceland periodically the people would gather for the reciting of the law. That meant there would people who would recite the entirety of Icelandic law as guidance for the gathering where disputes would be periodically resolved.
another: The illiad would be recited.... taking days.
harolds... messengers would be given oral messgaes to take from A to B and they had their minds trained to do so...
examples abound....
however, none of those bastards had to remember fucking PIN numbers for 5 different cards, 10 different login names, half a dozen passwords, etc etc etc etc.... or memory now is more diverse and segregated.... different
