How many phone numbers do you remember?
When in use there were stationary landline phones with 6-digit, and then with 7-digit numbers, then I perfectly remembered more than a dozen numbers. When mobile phones entered our lives ... I caught myself thinking that I only remember one number - the number of my wife. Although I often call both parents and friends. But from their phone numbers I remember only some combinations, I can probably just say his number or not.
The need for memorization has disappeared, because there is a phone book. Of course, you will not find such utility in old disk telephones. And using a notebook ... it's easier to remember the number. Or the question is, what more numbers do you need to remember? Or maybe laziness. Maybe new technologies make us lazier.
I wonder how many mobile numbers are stored in your “storage device”? And how you wash it to comment.
