Lifelong learning

When I was a kid, my parents used to say - you should focus on your studies as it is a matter of few years. Once you finish your school and college, you will be working and then life will be all about fun. You will have all the time to go to places, play, and do whatever you wish. Their way of motivation was different, but it worked. Getting rid of studies and having a better, easy, all time fun, life was the sole aim during those years until I fell in love with few subjects. When I started working, I understood that learning is a lifelong process. Oh God, I completed my education to have fun and not to work hard. But this is what life is about. Learning!

Learning makes us beautiful. We grow when we learn. An artist learns continuously from the world around her. Art delivered by her may have have huge impact on the society. It may make someone laugh, provoke them to be better humans, inform them of negative sides of our society to be more vigilant. By thinking, planning, practicing, delivering the art, artist thrives. We must learn continuously from our professional and personal experiences which will make us better artists, sportsmen, prudent in our area of expertise and above all better humans.

Where does all the learning gets stored?

My old computer had 80 gigabytes of memory space and when that memory space got full, my computer will show me no space message.

I wonder what a wonderful organ nature has shaped for us after evolution of so many years.

It scales automatically. Everyday we consume a lot of data. It gets stored in our brain, in short term memory area and later may go to long term memory area. Does it make folders, sub-folders, stores all the data files in an organized structure! Why doesn't it get overflowed. 

Nature has created cerebrum which helps us in thought process, logic reasoning, planning our actions, emotions, problem solving, memorization, and lot more. Our brain uses its neural network for storing, retrieving the stuff.

If I got tera or peta bytes in my computer, I could use mapreduce to retrieve this big data via document store or key value store, with low latency. How big is the data in my brain.
