I think that memory changes from one person to another. still almost nobody can use all the memory like a computer, even though a human brain has more memory than a computer itself.

From the link source below, "... The remarkable result of this work was that human beings remembered very nearly two bits per second under all the experimental conditions. Visual, verbal, musical, or whatever--two bits per second. Continued over a lifetime, this rate of memorization would produce somewhat over 109 bits, or a few hundred megabytes."
From the 2nd source shown: "While even the biggest computer has a capacity of around 10,000,000,000,000 bytes (10 to the power of 12), the human brain has a capacity of 10 to the power of 8000, say the scientists who made the calculations in the journal Brain and Mind."

You mean like gigabytes? Intresting. I don't think anybody knows.
Wouldn't short term memory be like ram or virtual memory? LOL
