Maybe there's external storage. (Score 1)

Maybe our brains are just NICs plugged into the ether via a "psychic" connection which all humans are marginally capable of. Each NIC is mapped to a specific volume of data marked for that person. Data which is stored as short-term is easy to get to, while long-term memory is degrading data. True psychics are able to hack someone else's pipe and grab their data. But how much storage, and where? Good question. But hey, this is all in fun, rite?
