 Computers are supposed to be "information technology,"
 to help you to keep your information organized. But
-we still have no good **tools** to help us **remember** our tasks,

-courses we have taken, marks we got,
-thoughts, ideas, types of poems, types of plants, 
-classes in a program and structures in a plot.
