It asked me to
18、create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it wasrejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “IHateHearlessOilCompanies”.But that was too long and didnt include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: assoon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the ot
19、hers. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didnt write down the actualpasswords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only afamily member could figure them out. For example, I combi
20、ned my bank PIN with ourpostal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember peoples names. Youknow, you form an association between a persons characteristics and their name bywhispering “Skinny George. Skinn
21、y George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that,upon seeing him, youll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but itspossible “Boring Betty” will.

26、micbook. The journey of the page being adapted to the screen has been covered a lot. But littleis the process spoken about in reverse.The most well-known version of a film making its way into the publishing industry isthrough the classic novelization. Movie novelizations went through a popular perio
27、dbefore the Internet existed. Fans wanted to keep learning more about the fictional worldsthey had stepped into and needed to experience the story again in a new way. Theycouldnt simply google it, nor could they immediately get the production on tape.Therefore, the novelization was a great solution.
28、Novelizations were usually written by authors who were not in the movie-makingprocess.
