External aids can augment memory.<br />
To compare facts, you must hold them in working memory simultaneously. Because we<br />
can hold so little in working memory at any one time, however, to do analysis effectively,<br />
we must rely on external aids to memory. This is an ideal job for a computer. Even a<br />
piece <strong>of</strong> paper that you jot down notes on to keep track <strong>of</strong> information as you’re<br />
analyzing data is an external memory aid that is quite powerful despite being low-tech.<br />
A computer running properly designed s<strong>of</strong>tware, however, can augment our ability to<br />
think about information much better than pencil <strong>and</strong> paper.
