Can't remember life before mobile phones? Chances are you'll also
struggle to recall your home phone number and family birthdays.
According to a survey released on Friday, the boom in mobiles and
portable devices that store reams of personal information has created a
generation incapable of memorizing simple things.
A quarter of those polled said they couldn't remember their landline
number, while two-thirds couldn't recall the birthdays of more than three
friends or family members.
The tech-savvy young fared worse than older people. The under-30s could
remember fewer birthdays and numbers than the over-50s, according to the
survey.
Two-thirds said they relied on their phone or electronic organizer to remember key dates.
"People have more to remember these days and they are relying on
technology more for their memory," said Ian Robertson, professor of
psychology at Trinity College, Dublin.
Researchers polled 3,000 people over the last two weeks in the survey
for Puzzler Brain Trainer magazine.

不記得沒有手機的日子了？可能你也記不清家里的電話號碼和家人的生日了。
據(jù)上周五公布的一項調查，隨著可存儲大量私人信息的移動產品和便攜設備的興起，如今的人連最簡單的事也記不住了。
四分之一的受訪者自稱不記得家里的電話號碼；三分之二的人最多能記得三個家人或朋友的生日。
“精通科技”的年輕人在這方面可不如年齡較大的人。調查顯示，30以下的年輕人能記得的生日和電話號碼沒有50歲以上的人多。
三分之二的受訪者稱，他們主要靠手機或電子記事本來幫助自己記一些重要的日子。
都柏林圣三一學院的心理學教授伊恩·羅伯特森說：“如今人們記這些日子的手段越來越多，而且他們的記憶更為依賴科技手段�！�
此項為《智力訓練》雜志開展的調查于上兩周進行，共有3000人參與。
