The tendency of new generations of people to forget about past historical events due to said events not happening in their lifetime and no longer existing in living memory.
Intergenerational amnesia is the reason human beings fail to learn from history and repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

Hiker’s own selective amnesia.
Remembering the “wow” at the top but forgetting the “fuck there’s more” on the trail, making you want to do it again.

A problem that persists with the "System Management Bus," in a particular sector of the "Smart Battery System" that happens when a battery is over-charged or charged before being completely empty on countless events.
The effects of SBA are misreadings of battery life and malfunction of software of which work with the battery.
This problem persists in most battery chips found in portable electronics and can be fixed by draining the battery through one extended use before doing a full charge.

"Man, my computer says my battery is low, but I just charged it!" "Don't worry! it's Selective Battery Amnesia, just let the battery run down and it will fix itself!"

Buritto amnesia is when someone eats a buritto, then forgets about it and blames someone for eating it on them. This usually happens to students with room mates who share a small freezer.
Dylan: Craig! you ate my buritto you douche bag
Craig: No I didnt. I saw you eat it last week. You suffer from Buritto Amnesia

Anal amnesia....when you sit there so long you don't remember if you pooped anything so you have to peek between your legs to see if there is anything in the bowl so you know whether you need to wipe your butt before you stand up.

1. when you have a job skill set that is being exploited to a level outside of your pay grade and you conveniently forget how to use that skill set. (commonly occurs when a corporation refuses to acknowledge the exploitation of skill sets they aren't currently paying for but expecting at bottom dollar) See: holding out for more money.
2. when a party wants something that you know but holds out for money feigning to not recall the details. (seen in many movies)

Manager: oh you know how to program Cisco switches but you are an under paid hourly guy. hmm.. how about you go ahead and deploy that new network segment.
Employee: Yea, how about compensation commensurate with that skill set.
Manager: How about you do it or look for other employment.
Employee: Yea, sorry I was mistaken, I am suffering from fiscal amnesia at this point.
"Where is the guy we are looking for?"
"Sorry my memory is a little hazy."
"Does this Franklin change your mind?"
"Well what do you know, I think I remember now.. he is staying in that apartment upstairs at 1549 fourth street... 3b."

I had to look up something on the google, but as soon as I opened a new tab I instantly got tab amnesia, stared at my screen a minute, and viewed some porn instead.
