Most human memories are in the form of images or sounds.. (your visual/audio perceptions..) \nwhereas a computer can be anything from data, visuals, audio or a file...  the computer is more organised and has 99.99999% chance of remembering every minute detail.. \n\ncompared to the human mind which only remembers certain events which have affected the person in their life. \n\nOn the contrary though.. it was the human mind which has developed the computer memory to be SO accurate.. therefore i believe our brain also has the capability to fully remember everything that happens... (for example.. if someone has a photographic memory... they remember everything they see...)

From what I know new born's can NOT remember. They CAN feel pain but no....they have no memories. I'm not 100% sure but I am about 98%.

i think that because we have more cameras we can detect crimes more easily... as most people do not know that they are being watched they commit these crimes, remeber if a crime is seen then it has to be reported...\n\nif there is no camera in a place that a crime has been commited where no one is present then its could be hard to determine if a crime has occured... therefor it is not reported...so there seems to be less crime...\n\ndid that make sense?\n\nhope so!\n\nx

This depends on the student. Some are visual learners and they remember things best if presented visually in the form of pictures/photos/diagrams/movies. These students appreciate color as it helps fill in the details. \n\nA more hands on learner would do best with a black an white image, as they categorize in their mind based on simplicity and would remember best with that.\n\nCognition and memory are not fully understood aspects of the mind. How someone remembers is variable between each individual as well as the person's mood at the time it was presented.

I can't answer for every single photograph out there, but I can tell you that every orb I've seen in a photograph can usually be related to something not supernatural, ie, dust, rain, weird flash effects...\nI have however, seen photographic phenomena that cannot be explained.. ie, a fourth figure appearing in a family portrait after it had been hanging on the wall for over 5 years..

First one is more proper as a "good memory" is not a material thing that you can "have". Since memory is a non-physical attribute, "have" should be avoided.  The usage of "have" there, though not incorrect, is not very apt. So I would suggest using the first sentence.

There more senses you use the more you will remember. So if you use your eyes to take a mental picture. You'll probably remember it for a while but if you concentrate on how it smells and/or sounds you'll remember more.

Reincarnation is true and you can remember your last life if you want to - but very few people really want to, at the subconscious level. Memories of who you were could complicate your present life and cause feelings of displacement and confusion. \n\nIf you want to try remembering your life, read a book on the subject, such as "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Past-Life Regression" by Michael Hathaway. Silly title, but sage advice inside.\n\nWhoever thinks the inability to remember a past life is evidence that reincarnation is untrue should consider the fact that, since none of us can remember being born, or being an infant - or the vast majority of days between birth and now - it follows that everything we've forgotten (which is 99.999% of our lives) never happened either.

Okay....\n\nWhat many people think of as proof that ghosts exists is merely something they've experienced but can't explain in any other way than saying that it was a ghost.\n\nPeople who are unable to sleep for several days because of an illness, for example, might hallucinate and "see" dead relatives while he is still awake. A person who didn't know it was the brain taking time out to "dream" while awake might believe that his dead relatives came back to comfort him in his illness.\n\nPhotographs of ghosts (orbs, etc.) are little more than way-out-of-focus specks of dust or other airborne particles too close to the flash and lens of the camera.\n\nStill other photographs are merely misuse of the camera. A shaky hand can cause blurs. A person who doesn't know how to properly use the "night portait" setting on a camera might see "energy" from distant lights.\n\nWhen people visit a "haunted house" they've usually been told what "ghost" is there and where. That biases the visitor--even subconciously--and the visitor will then "feel" something.\n\nJohn Edward, Sylvia Browne and other "psychics" who claim to talk to the dead are only skilled in an art called "Cold Reading". A major factor in a successful "Cold Reading" is the psychic tossing out very vague references ("I'm seeing water.") and the person being "read" only remembering the "hits"--the vague references the psychic got right--and forgetting the "misses".\n\nThere is always an explaination to a "ghostly experience". It's just that the person who experienced it may not know what it is other than to believe it was a ghost.

Early sexual stimulation and love and affection allow the cortex to grow faster and usually leaves an extra fold in the brain's outer layer. Now you explain why you think it is proper to ask mentally ill people about photographic memories. Do you know something you didn't tell us in the question. Why not be fully honest with us?

very detailed answer with links to look at:\n\nhttp://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=99188\n\nanother link:  \n     "The answer, simply put, appears to be "no." When people born blind were questioned about what they "see" in dreams in several studies, their answers indicate that the experience of vision first is needed before it can be translated into a dream. Those blind for a lifetime instead experience other keenly developed senses in their dreams--i.e., the sensation of moving around, the emotion of joy, etc.\n\n     Dream images of the blind instead seem to be reconstructions of objects based on sensory input such as touch and sound, just as occurs in waking life. But can these images be accurately described as visual? Can an object be recreated in detail if the dreamer has in fact never experienced seeing it?\n\n     Other studies indicate that individuals blind at birth do see visual images. But it can be argued that these images are constructs based on input from other senses (and on what the dreamer has been told by the sighted about what these objects look like)."\n\nhttp://vision.about.com/od/severevisionloss/f/blinddreams.htm

Everyone dreams... even dogs dream\n\nNot everyone has the capability to recall their dreams but most that don't can learn to recall them.  Here is a cool discussion / web site on the subject.

The Group Mind is in the present and, yes, there is some evidence that all humanity tunes in to itself and thinks/feels alike at times.  The Collective Consciousness is probably a genetic memory phenomenon of all the memory we share from our genetic past experiences.

I see spirits (or ghosts) quite a bit. Sometimes, they do show up in pictures.  You're always going to get controversies over such a subjects, simply because one isn't always certain. I had my picture taken a few years ago with the presence of a loved one who had passed on a few months prior. I knew he was there next to me, so I lean towad him.  It is clear his ectoplasm appeared in the picture.\n\nMy answer to your question is a definite YES!!!\n\n\njoandra_vandowall@yahoo.com

Unlike traditional cameras that use film to capture and store an image, digital cameras use a solid-state device called an image sensor. These fingernail-sized silicon chips contain millions of photosensitive diodes called photosites. In the brief flickering instant that the shutter is open, each  photosite records the intensity or brightness of the light that falls on it by accumulating a charge; the more light, the higher the charge. The brightness recorded by each photosite is then stored  as a set of numbers that can then be used to set the color and brightness of dots on the screen or ink on the printed page to reconstruct the image\nso Answer A
