Link to Knowledge Framework: | Scope |
Teaching Flow: | In groups, create a table outlining the following: Characteristics of Neurobiological/Neurochemical Memory Characteristics of Digital Memory Similarities between the two Differences between the two e.g.) Neurobiological memory is Place the following technologies on the pyramid of digital storage memory: HDD Tape SSD DRAM PMEM Based on this pyramid, explore the significance of the invention of persistent memory. Is exponential increase in data storage technology only contributing towards preservation of knowledge? Does it have the potential to create new knowledge as well? Can the human mind perform the same or similar functions as persistent memory? |
