Why?

StorageComputeThinking
Computer✔️✔️
Human✔️

Because we are very weak at storing data in our brains.

A computer stores an entire dictionary in almost 10 seconds (copy/paste), but we have to spend years to only learn 5 thousand words.

Anki boosts the storage portion of our brains.
In scientific terms, Anki boosts our semantic memory.
