This kind of sucks to read ... I read so much/process so much information nowadays (blogs/programming books/facebook/twitter/pictures and videos from places I've been etc etc) that I've actually changed the way I remember information nowadays to this more 'over general model' ...
I did this because I was initially spending so much time trying to remember specifics about things I read or saw that I wasn't able to get through it all effectively. Now if a topic comes up, I might not be able to give solid details about it, but between FeedDemon starred items, twitter faves and delicious I can get back up to speed about the thing I was trying to remember (delicio.us is a godsend) ... and though I've only addressed data/information ... it has become the default way I remember things now (life experiences etc)
It just seems to be a more efficient way to process information, but to find that it could aid depression is a bit of a downer ... but I guess I'll just have to work on changing the way I think about life experiences and take time to smell the roses more.
