WOW! Finally, a rational explanation for Seniors...

Brains of older people are slow because they
know so much. People do not decline mentally
with age, it just takes them longer to recall
facts because they have more information stored
in their brains, scientists believe. Much like
a computer struggles as the hard drive becomes
fuller, so humans also take longer to access
information, it has been suggested.

Researchers say this slowing down is not the
same as cognitive decline. The human brain
works slower in old age, said Dr. Michael
Ramscar, but only because we have stored more
information over time. The brains of older
people do not get weak. On the contrary, they
simply know more, but just may not be able to
access the information as quickly.

Also, older people often go to another room
to get something and when they get there, they
stand there wondering what they came for. It
is NOT a memory problem, it is nature's way of
making older people get more exercise.

SO THERE!! Now I understand.....what a relief!!!!!!!!!!! :1: :grin:
