RE: Emotions Can 'Hangover' and Bias Our Future Memories
There is certainly ‘smart phone brain’ where many people no longer remember things because they can simply just access it via a quick search. I feel like this is an intended consequence; when people can’t remember things they don’t remember history. They then just search and we all know that the most popular results aren’t what actually happens and are just a filtered version.
Wow yea very good point!
That's probably why old people usually remember every weird little detail, peoples names and dates of all the historical events etc. Since we don't have to remember anything, we don't even try to.
Yeah to an extent. You know what people in their 20’s-40’s remember a lot of? Useless sports history and stats. This drives me insane! When they remember some game and it’s highlights from the 80’s or 90’s but can’t tell you if we are ruining countries in the Middle East we aren’t even at ‘war’ with, or Africa.
That's true. Although I don't remember sports facts either.....
