External and Internal memory
Since the Greek times, people have been fascinated by memory. Before the widespread availability of portable writing materials, a good memory was vital for many activity.
A politician in ancient Athens could not rely on the projected text, which for television newscasters and US president has become routine.
Carefully prepared speeches had to be memorized. The memory methods developed to help in such circumstances provide the basis for modern techniques used by the entertainers and described in many books on memory.
However, such methods play a relatively minor role in improving memory.
