The information was in a specific computer folder （ 文件夾）.Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember

28、y tired and annoyed, I would actually begin to miss the place we just left!Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful.
