    Yup. How many phone numbers do you have memorized? If you’re from the era before cellphones you had to memorize numbers or carry a cheat sheet. You probably had anywhere from 10-30 numbers memorized. Now people don’t even know their spouses numbers.

      I didn’t realize that the memorization of phone numbers had any bearing on ones ability to think critically. Although you are clearly demonstrating, it has absolutely zero impact.
