““The Conscious Space Human consciousness is not very big. The conscious space that we use to process information about ourselves and others is only able to consider between five to seven units at any one time. It is like a juggler who is confined to juggling only five to seven balls. Any more and the juggler will start dropping the balls and fail in his act. Despite this limitation, the information that is accessible to the conscious space is very large and, for all practical considerations, may be infinite.””
