What type of memory do you have?

In school and college days, I used to have a good memory power. Now I am nearing 57 and I cannot remember much, particularly for long period. My son who is 14 has a terrific memory power. He can tell you the day, if one tells him the date 30 years past or 30 years future. Similarly, when at school whatever teacher taught, without byheart, he can repeat. Doctors call this photomirror effect in the brain.

I would say that I don't have a bad memory before, infact I have many memory verses from the Bible and joined some contest involving good memory. But now, I easily forget things, I think it's with the anesthethic they injected during my operation last year or it's part of getting older. So I have to make a list of phone numbers, address, list of the websites I visit with my username and passwords and some important things that I should remember. I also list my itenerary when I go out to ensure that I do everything I have in mind.

I don't know what kind of memory i have, but i suppose it is bad also. Like i don't remember names. People is like waving at me, smiling at me, and sometimes talking straight to and im like these " oh yes, hey, what's your name again"...i look stupid, i don't know how to change it, maybe because of poor eating habits and not enough vitamins that is why i have this poor memory.

i have really very bad memmory.i have the habit of forgetting thinks very short from sschool days! so that i have ashamed many times when i was studying both school day's and college day.but these days i have bite by using cell phone remainder.

Oh, indescribably, and I was losing a lot of memory, I learned many things back, it will increase meory, i don't know if it is true.
