LEARN that whose details some FORGET over time. And, yes, that is a big and important issue for the future. There are reliable studies on memory that emphasize how those facts, figures, people, and occurrences develop in both short-term and long-term memory. Those who never read or write more than basic texts or follow much more than often superficial social media feeds, who are never asked to question or defend their beliefs or to analyze what is going on now or through history in their own minds or with others--may well be looking at much earlier and dramatic problems on that score.

So, if the cohorts of older friends, family, political leaders, and colleagues forget some things with time, they have a hell of a lot more in the stored memory banks upon which to rely. THIS is going to be an issue.
