If memory keeps failing you, worry not. IBM has been working on a software that might help you in recalling forgotten pieces of your life.

Pensieve is a software that organizes information stored and recorded on mobile devices and helps people recall names, faces, conversations and events. Though it might not help in short term memory or autobiographical memory, it might help in semantic memory, which is a part of the long-term memory. Pensieve organizes, stores and extracts collected information much like the human memory works. IBM’s project is similar to Microsoft’s research work in the similar field. This kind of software may help people with memory difficulties and also those who suffer from recollection problems.
