  • when I was young I was always able easily to memorize the important phone numbers in my life. I had really beautiful handwriting too. I couldn't tell you my best friend's phone number today. it's stored in my cell, why would I take the time to know it? I also have a great sense of direction, a good memory for driving directions etc., but I could see that going by the wayside should I ever adopt the GPS-for-grocery-shopping dependency that seems to be increasingly common in our world. I'm pretty sure skynet is about to go online people...
