I would rather have short- term memory than long-term memory because if something bad happened to you whether it is personal or not then that is stuck with you for life, you will never forget that situation, it is there forever. I would rather forget about the bad things in the past rather than remember it for a life time. That if a memory that either you want or you don’t want to remember, some people even suffer because of some bad memories during their life. Anyways back to this assignment, I feel short-term memory is very important in life because even with short-term memory you can still remember things like Roy G Biv for the rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet).
