Wait, I forgot my memory at home!

Apparently, cell-phones and PDAs are to adults what video games are to children - brain cell killers. We no longer need to memorize phone numbers or anything else for that matter. We can store everything from birthdates to grocery lists on our little technological gadgets and then forget about it until the information is needed. Because of this phenomenon, people rarely try to memorize anything on a daily basis. To use a phrase I learned in my childhood, if you don't use it, you'll lose it. That is exactly what has happened to our society. The ability to remember the most basic things is disappearing. And the youngest are the worst off according to the recent study.
