Memory is not a hard drive, it can also lie - Psychology - Psychology Express

Not a single person can recall the situation of when they were just born. It's not until the second or third year after birth that we start to have our own memories. People always tend to believe that they are what they believe themselves to be. The human brain is often compared to a computer hard drive, recording data from life. In reality, our memories can also lie; they gradually get modified after being triggered in different environments, much like how people nowadays enjoy continuously editing their digital photos taken during trips on their computers.- psytopic.com
