Can you Survive Without Your Smartphone, I realized that with cell phones getting smarter many of us have gotten mentally lazy. Gone are the days when I could blurt out the phone numbers from dozens of family and friends of the top of my head. I starve to death forgetting to do my own grocery shopping, How good is your memory, How many phone numbers do you remember by heart,
These are the results of my impromptu survey, consisting of 8 slightly intoxicated adults sitting around a dinner table. The demographic consists of 5 males and 3 females. Ages ranging from 30 to 40. All semi-professionals. 2 did not remember their own number. 3 did not remember their bosses number. 5 did not remember more then 20 telephone numbers of family or friends. And 8 could not remember more then 50 telephone numbers. All of us had more then 300 contacts in our phones.
Smartphones and our Memory. Are smartphones making us mentally lazy, After my using my new "dumb" phone for a year, I now have a long list of phone numbers memorized.

I think the best plan is to make sure we use the technology to enhance our lives without allowing it to enslave us. Hello Mary, I think you made a wise choice. Once you start relying on all the features of a smartphone, it's not easy to back. My children gave me a smart phone for Christmas and I took it back and got another "dumb phone" like I was used to. I knew I would never learn to use all of those features. Yes, smart phones are making people dumber, I think!
We no longer depend on our brains. I still make my grocery list, and my children think that is SO silly. Very true rasta1, I just did not realise how much I have come to rely on my smartphone. It is very evident that smart phones have replaced certain calculations that we would normally do in our heads.
