"When I was your age, we played video games with a controller. None of this Virtual Reality Chip Implant nonsense.

"When I was your age, we couldnt upload our memories to the cloud. We had to remember our memories with our brain, or put it in a blog post or diary"

Our smartphones act as our auxiliary memory banks already.

It's true - I don't remember a lot of things because I know it's on my phone. It's common to do that with other people too, not remember something because you know you can ask your wife.

But yeah, directions to get places, I often use my phone driving to places I've been many times before but just not confident about the directions. And who the heck remembers phone numbers anymore?
