The Power of Memory

I've always been aware of how much I use my environment to extend my mind. So often I rebuild thoughts rather than kind of pull them out of some data store somewhere. One thing that probably all of us have done is that thing where you forget something and then you go back to the place you were when you had the thoughts. As soon as you get there, it just pops back up. It's like when you listen to music, old music, and you can feel like you're in that space and you can even remember stuff from that time that you couldn't remember off the bat.
