People Are Forgetting More Because Of Technology
People are becoming more forgetful and it’s all because of technology.
Sure it’s hard to keep up with all your passwords, but people are forgetting their own phone numbers.
British researchers polled 2,000 people and found 13% didn’t know their own digits!
We’ve become so reliant on our gadgets it is now harder to remember basic things like addresses and birth dates.
People who took the poll say they’ve forgotten how to spell common words, math skills like long division, even basic handwriting.
Here are some other things people say they’ve forgotten:
The address of their own job
How to read a map
How to cook from scratch
How to mail a letter
How to treat an illness
The research was carried out by working animal charity SPANA ahead of World Animal Day.
