We only think like this and begin to voice our concerns about it only as we begin to age. I noticed as I began to age I had more and more ADD-like times yet could focus on a subject of intense interest better than I ever could when younger. Seems like the averaged aging person best retains what is of vital interest to them or what happens in moments of intensity and the rest fades with the occasional glimmer of odd facts or occasions we remember for who knows what reason and can seemingly retain forever.
