What is your earliest consistent memory? One reason I'm drawn to cognition is that Web and distributed network models reflect aspects of how human memory as we understand today works (or doesn't)! Our brains are tasked to take distributed memory and make them accessible to us.

Being picked up to look at monkeys in an odd store ..don't remember the stores name but I remember the monkeys. Photos trigger other memories, but that's the first imprinted on my memory with no pictures.
