Perhaps instead of the classical past let's memorize everything, everyone is simply learning a new way of thinking. Instead of keeping all of the information inside of ones head, just remember where you can find the information. It saves mental disk space and allows one to have more of a personality instead of a mindless drone spewing out facts and figures to anyone that will listen just to feel more intelligent when no one gives a damn. It takes some time to adjust to the way most were taught in school to a new way of thought.
