Life Without Memory
Alan Davies switches off our ability to make new memories. With only short-term memory, could diaries and a strict to-do list keep the world turning?
No new memories. In this episode of Life Without, Alan Davies takes away our ability to form them. We can still live in the moment, but what happens when that moment will not stay with us?
Alan explores different kinds of memory, from knowing how to ride a bike to recalling a personal experience. Can technology, routines and support help us cope? And what might memory loss reveal about how people learn, build relationships and make sense of their lives?
