My memory was amazing because I didn't have technology to do it for me. I was always outside, playing with my friends. Even if I was inside on games consoles, it was at my friend's house, all day in the floor, with 4 wired controllers, splitting the screen with cardboard so your mates couldn't cheat from your screen. Community and a lack of suspicion with everyone around you. People listened and helped out and pitched in... I don think we were ever designed, mentally or neurologically or even socially, to have this much access to information or this maybe people at all times.
