did you realize it's 2004? i remember 2003 well, but 2004 seems like it didn't exist / doesn't exist: no memories.

my friend thought the same thing. i suppose it seems that way when you look back at it all. if you look at in a scientific perspective peoples long term memory is shit. so that would explain the feeling of a short time lapse within an entire year.

if you're going to accuse me of saying something 'stupid' i wish you'd back up your side of the argument. from what i've read in science books and lectured in classes, its a very well known fact - that humans are incapable of holding memory very well unless its for a short period of time (short term memory). i mean for god sakes humans have an attention span of 5 seconds, let alone try to remember something 4 months back. yeah in your dreams :)

perception of time seems to distort after a couple decades. i guess the world doesn't seem so 'vast and mysterious' as it had when we were younger. i think we all get so caught up in the busy-everyday-9to5 life, that we don't even realize its even happening.
find the magic in the daily routine.

but i have lots of memories from 2003, so your argument, childrentalking, isn't convincing.

i studied psychology for two years, i know a fair bit about the memory. once a piece of information has been retained in the STM(short term memory) for 30seconds, it enters the LTM (long term memory). most would agree that the memories are kept in the LTM for an indefinate duration, and that the reason we can't remember them is because we have no cues, or prompts... you probably won't remember where you were 17 days ago at 4.23pm, but why would you need to retain that? no reason to remember them. often people with serious brain damage, are unable to utilise their STM have an excellent LTM. its fair to say the capacity of the memory is indefinate but to prove this 100% would be impossible...

you fail to understand good memory. yes everyone remembers something which stood out in their life time since they were probably about the age of 8 even, but thats besides the point. you mentioned 2003 yes they're images some you can correlate with one another but not a whole lot. you cannot recall back in 2003 and know what conversation you happen to have perchance or certain things you might've done in the ceremony, unless they stood out for you. i forget what mental phenomena is called but it has a name. where one remembers certain things for reasons of distraught or shock. anyways you also can't pinpoint any specific acts for the most part. that is what i'm talking about. its not whether humans can recall back to a point in time but what necessarily occured in them. memories fade as time goes on you cannot deny that and it becomes harder to hold onto them unless you remind yourself of them.

Mark the difference between i_x_ten's coherent post, and ChildrenTalkings rambling inanity. One knows what they're talking about, the other is gabbling in the lonely void.

childrentalking, in the first post you were saying: an entire year seems short, because long term memory is shit and you forget most of it, right?
then it's a general thing that would have to go for all years.
of course i dont remember irrelevant details from 2003, but i remember many events from 2004, i hardly rember any or anything from 2004. that was the point.
but this discussion is needless.

it should have been "i remember many events from 2003" not "from 2004".

i think its depending on the cue or reminder, which triggers back the dramatic exp. only certain fragments of the total memory may be activated.
