Pioneer1 Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 In the real world, whether I'm at work or on the street....if I'm talking to somebody and I'm trying to remember something I often will ask them or give myself a while to try to remember it myself. Some people ask, why not just look it up on your phone? Because I don't want to. I like the feeling of REMEMBERING certain things and I'll sometimes wait a whole day trying to remember something and use the internet only as a last resort. I like using my brain. I usually don't use calculators for the same reason. I'll grab a sheet of paper and do it with a pen. A lot of younger people under 30 will crowd around me in amazement and wonder what I'm doing and ask me if I'm playing some sort of game....lol. It's the same online. If I'm having a conversation with somebody, I can easily flip to another window and look it up but I don't care too much for doing that in most situations. I like the idea of either remembering it myself or the person I'm communicating with remembering it. It seems more "realistic" that way. And a bit more "fair" not to go running to Google for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 I take pride in having an encyclopedic memory when it comes to some things. But, as I get older, I'm dumping a lot of useless data too. No dementia or Alzheimers for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka Contrarian Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 I always look up things that I don't know the answer to or that I'm curious about. i don't waste time trying to remember what I never knew. I:'ve always been about expanding my mind! This is the case with most people - except for those with narrow minds who only want to reinforce what limited knowledge the have stored in their memory and are deluded enough to believe that they already know everything there is to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer1 Posted March 31 Author Report Share Posted March 31 Cynique I:'ve always been about expanding my mind! Have you considered dropping LSD or popping a few Molly pills? I've heard they really "expand" the mind....lol. except for those with narrow minds who only want to reinforce what limited knowledge the have stored in their memory and are deluded enough to believe that they already know everything there is to know. So...when do you plan on breaking out of this vicious cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
