(On the other hand there are many things No One wants to remember) In any case, this is the reason for reference books such as encyclopedias, medical books, manuals and almanacs. You do not have to remember everything if you can look it up in a book. Unlike a computer or cell phone a book is always there. You are never out of range, you do not need a battery or other energy source, you do not have to wait for a program to load.	1800’s The Nelson Universal Hand Atlas $20 Contains 240 maps of countries and cities of the world. 190 pages this blue/grey cloth bound book is a British printing from the 1800’s, I believe, since the population of Toronto is less than 400,000 and New York about 4.5 million.
