    If it was Ram then everything you learned would disappear when you went to sleep. But it would all be easily accessible at all times instantly.

    A hard drive sounds way more appropriate. It’s really good at following a single chain of information. It is terrible at randomly accessing information but it’s all there. The problem of course is that - people don’t talk as one long chain. There are tangents and then the drive must seek which is slow.
