I can remember every car or truck I ever bought and that goes back from 2013 to 1961. I can remember every girl friend I ever had. I can remember every near sexual interlude I had and of course every complete sexual experience I ever had. I can remember every job I had from 1960 to 2007.
So why can't I remember all the things I have studied since 1950 to the present day? I remember working as a technician at Burroughs computer company from 1977 to 1987. I remember all the friends I had, but very little about what I did during that decade. I have studied computer programming off and on since 2000, but can't remember any of what I studied. I created web pages since the late nineties but can't remember all I learned. Lucky for me google takes care of that these days and for the most part all I have to do is write what I want and google does the rest. Funny how my original web pages used perhaps 100 lines of computer code and did what I wanted to make my pages. Now for a simple page google provides well over 1000 lines of code. What all that contains I can't even figure out, but I don't have to do so because google knows and google never forgets!
In the last 8 years I have used google blogger for posting my pages and with 1322 posts I have had 50,000 readers and I am happy with that. They come from all over the country and countries around the world. I know some people have over 1,000,000 page views, what all they do for that I do not know, but I am thrilled with what I have had over the years. I think most of those 1,000,000 viewed sites are limited in scope and attract people who are interested in that same travel or cooking or cars or whatever the site is about.
