So according to Wikipedia a photographic memory or Eidetic memory is a psychological or medical term, popularly defined as the ability to recall images, sounds, or objects in memory with extreme precision. I always wanted to know how it really feels like (first hand) it could also help my memory for quizzes and exams. Imagine the ability to memorize anything in a flash.

Yeah it sounds so nice. It will come really handy for exams. I also like to have it. I know about that ability from one anime series about detective but I've never heard about the real thing, so there's actually person who have this ability in real life? Sounds so nice, and I agree it seems like a super power, so nice to have. I'd love to have it!

I feel the same way. It kinda feels like a super power yeah? But there would be disadvantages as well. Like for example, If you accidentally seen an accident of a person then there guts are all over the place. You will NEVER forget that scene right? Because of the photo graphic memory.

Well that is one of its disadvantages. It's like a double edged sword as they refer to backfires.
