Infantile Amnesia: Why Don’t We Remember Things From Our Infant Years?

Image
It’s easy to recall certain notable events of the past—birthdays, anniversaries, convocations, or visits to Grandma’s house—but do you remember those events when you were a baby? Probably not. If you’re a curious mortal like us at  Techy Wild,  you have likely pondered why you can’t remember being a baby or recollect important events that happened when you were a toddler. The answers to these musings have been researched and are linked to our memory systems, especially in the way our memory system develops as we grow from a baby to a child and into early adulthood. Infantile Amnesia Can you recollect your first birthday? Or perhaps you're second? Humans rarely remember events from before the ages of 2-3 and have a very erratic recollection of the events that happened in the ages between four and seven. Interestingly, there is a scientific name for this phenomenon:  infantile amnesia . So why is it almost impossible to have any recollection of being a toddler? Is it simpl

How Does Our Body Know Where To Store Fat?

Image
All of us have fat in our bodies, but different people seem to store it in different regions. Some people have fat in their abdominal region, while others have it in their thighs and hips and other common areas. Unfortunately, we have no direct control over where our body stores fat. Good fats play an important role, not only in providing energy to our body, but also in the regulation of our body temperature, the production of hormones, the reduction of inflammation and so on. The question of what good and bad fats are is a topic for another day, but another question remains – how does our body decide where it stores fat? Digestion Review To understand how the storage and distribution of body fat works, we must first briefly understand how food is digested in our body. Digestion starts the moment we put food in our mouths, where it is mechanically digested as we chew, and then chemically digested due to the enzyme amylase present in our saliva. Once we swallow the bolus, the proce

Eight Billion Reasons Yahoo Didn't Buy Facebook

Image
For much of the year, Facebook had been in negotiation to sell itself to Yahoo. The market value of the "instant behemoth" social service sites has fluctuated, as services, both large and small have changed hands this year. The first big acquisition was Newscorp's purchase of MySpace for $580 million in 2005. That set a benchmark, which was driven upward somewhat by the NBC Universal purchase of women's online network iVillage for $600 million earlier this year. Social networking sites typically allow users to create and share blogs, pictures, and videos with friends and the wider public. What makes Facebook different from MySpace? Its founder(s) set out to create a social networking site that is designed for post-high school users. It connects people by region, college, company and high school. Build a personal profile and connect with others that are sharing your life experience as opposed to your social, entertainment and artistic interests, which are the foca

We barely have time to wait for our burger at the local fast food restaurant, our coffee to brew, our microwave popcorn to pop, so who has time to wait around for a slow computer? Barring adding more RAM to your computer, there are 6 steps you can take to speed up your computer’s performance. Most of these steps will allow you to speed up your computer, free of charge since they are applications already installed on your computer. One of the first steps you should take is to empty the Recycle Bin. It’s easy to do. Just point your cursor to the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop, right-click, and choose “Empty Recycle Bin.” Next, open up your Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options. Click on “Delete Cookies,” then on “Delete Files.” In the window that appears, check “Delete all offline content” and click OK.

Windows Tech Support Scams: Why You Should Just Hang Up

Image
Scammers are everywhere, but in recent years they’ve found a new angle: exploiting ignorance about computer viruses. The Microsoft Windows tech support scam catches people out every single day. Some people take it upon themselves to waste the scammers’ time, or even antagonize them. In truth, neither is a good idea. Here’s why it would be better if you just hang up. The Microsoft Tech Support Scam This telephone tech support scam should feel familiar. The phone rings. At the other end is someone claiming to be from “Microsoft Technical Support”, or something similar. Your caller will typically have a thick Indian accent, and an Anglicized name.

They’ll follow this up by prompting you to install their remote desktop software, which provides the scammer with admin access. Your data is already at
