You did not mention your age. Poor memory is a normal side effect of aging, and usually begins to show up in the mid-50's -- but sometimes sooner. That can be slowed by mental exercises such as playing card games that require memory, crossword puzzles, and similar mental exercises. I read recently of computer games that are designed to help seniors with memory loss, but can't recall where. ;)

In younger people, poor memory is usually due to failure to pay attention. There are little tricks, such as making sure that you use someone's name a couple of times after being introduced, to fix it in your mind, and so forth.

Google memory+tricks for more information than you'll ever remember.
