Why is the phone's memory is growing, and our shrinking
Modern mobile devices are used as a replacement for a data warehouse forgetful users. At the same time preserving the information on an external drive does not guarantee that the user will be her "remember." Nowadays "forgetful" can be called an absolute majority of people - at least in comparison with their ancestors, who never had smartphones.
Scientists gave this phenomenon the name of the «digital amnesia» - instant forgetting data after adding them to the gadget.
The habit of relying on mobile devices is quite natural. In our fast-growing and almost completely digitized world, people find it difficult to remember a great number of telephone numbers, addresses, passwords, and so on. Even if we want to, we can not remember everything.
Thus, keeping personal information "outside", that is in electronic form, we give the brain "permission" to erase this information. Our brain capacity is limited, and not all the information available to us. And if we do not remember any of the events, they are gradually erased until not disappear.
A recent study by Kaspersky Lab found that more than half of the people in the US and Europe not able to memorize the phone numbers of their relatives
78% of Russians said that they needed an answer "here and now". That is why 53% of users are first of all turn to the Internet to find the information they need, and only 4 people out of 10, first on their own trying to remember the answer.
Smartphones have become indispensable companions for many of us, a kind of continuation of the human brain. But if we use them to store all our information, without memorizing it, then soon your phone will not continue, and the replacement of our memory.
