A human does not require infinite memory because most problems the human needs to solve only require finite memory.
But also, a human can easily augment his/her own memory by some pen and paper, or by a computer. That way, a human can solve more complex problems.
also, what about accumulated 'memory' in our human culture? how finite is that? how do you quantify this? (I'd think it'd be quantified by a timestamp, like a reference to an era or an historic age?? shrug)

I think "culture" is the answer.. but maybe I actually mean a free "natural language" (in contrast with a formal (or synthetic) language)
