You should see your memory as a library of functions, not a database of facts. Facts helps you answer test questions, library functions is how you solve problems.

Every piece of knowledge has things you can do with it, things that relates to it etc, understanding how to work with the knowledge is the important part to learn and what you don't really learn by just looking it up on the internet. Basically you build interfaces and connects them and create a large structure of things you can do and apply to all sorts of things.

I think facts have gotten a bad reputation nowadays. Many functions only work as composition of facts.
