to save all the things we ever witnessed with our eyeballs throughout our whole entire lives, as if our eyes are video cameras, so we could possibly one day play back everything we ever recorded?

Memory is plastic and so changes overtime so probably not no.

The rest of us also have that ability but can't tap into it. That's not necessarily true. That'd be like saying we all have the ability to be 6 and a half feet tall. If it's not in our genetics, we don't have that ability. It's not a skill to be learned. It's something people are born with. |

If you sat a 90 year old down and got them to spend the rest of their life recording every memory they ever had in life... I doubt you'd come away with more than 10 hours worth of material. If that.

The old woman has the capacity to store every memory she just can't access it. The brain has 1 million gigabytes of storage capacity. You would have to leave a tv running continuously for 300 years to use up that much storage. What is the Memory Capacity of the Human Brain |

The old woman has the capacity to store every memory she just can't access it. Because the brain wouldn't store all of it. Working memory and short term memory aren't the same as long term memory. Not everything people do gets stored in their brains. |

What is the Memory Capacity of the Human BrainThe brain is not a digital computer and doesn't work that way. It also doesn't work like a camera. What the OP describes is literally impossible. |

And yet more and more people are diagnosed with dementia and alzheimer's disease. Why?? Because we are getting older and older? And having a memory of a walk with all the landscape, smells, noises etc. needs hardly less "HD-space" than a movie or youtube-clip. More so: you lose what you don't use. We simply forget the stuff we don't need. |
