    For decades, researchers have been exploring how unreliable human memory can be. Memories are not only fickle when accessed but are also easily subverted and rewritten. With modern image editing software, fake images surround us and our minds accept them as real, later distorting how we remember the past and affecting current and future behavior. In one study, researchers manipulated photographs subjects saw from childhood by including a fake hot air balloon ride, and 50% of subjects later recalled parts of the made up event.
