But does being forgetful imply turning into an idiot? I fully believe in the theory that your brain is like a hard drive and like all hard drives it has a limited capacity. Why are some memories like your first kiss, first night with a woman, first concert and the day you purchased a new cell phone more memorable than others is open to science, but if I can have my device remember things such as passwords, phone numbers, etc. well then bring it on, please.
With time becoming such a precious item in todays world, would you rather spend your precious minutes memorizing facts or writing them down in a word document and using the search capability?
This study notes that half of the married men they spoke to have no idea when they got married, half of the 3,000 people polled use the same password, 33% of people don’t know their home phone number.
Are you surprised? I’m not.
