From the Paper:

"Conventional wisdom says that 'you learn something new every day'. There is some truth in that saying. Every day our brains must process new information. Whether the new information is as simple as someone else's car being parked in the same space that we have been using at work, or as complex as scientific theories we are studying at school, our brains record, process, and store a myriad of unique bits of information on an ongoing basis. There are times when even the human brain needs assistance in the processes of cognition and memory. Most people use certain patterns of information process to aid in their own learning. As a college student who also holds down a job and who tries to maintain a personal life, I use several methods of processing information. I will use this paper to address my methods of processing and storing information."
