DYNAMIC SPEED READING becomes a part of long-term memory. We believe this is caused by intense concentration. Intense concentration causes the altering of states of consciousness which, in turn, accesses long-term memory. Another factor is photographic or tape-recorder memories. You have the potential to remember everything you have ever seen or heard, even if you weren't paying attention to what was said. Your brain/mind, like a computer, stores all memories.

Learning, Teaching And Learning

How do we teach to each other? How is it that we were taught everything that we now know? At some points in history, knowledge was elitist and even a forbidden concept. In 399 BC, Socrates explained that he was known as the wisest of all men since he understood that he knew nothing. Socrates was ultimately executed because of his unyielding questioning to the Athens population to find out how they knew all the things that they knew. In this days, we still ask Socratic questions and have yet to fully understand the answers; however, technology is bringing us closer and closer.
