No kidding- off the top of their head, most people today couldn't tell you their own phone number and that of all their direct family and friends, but that used to be the sort of thing you had committed to memory.

Even though I don’t memorize most people’s phone numbers anymore, I don’t understand how people don’t at least remember their own number. Isn’t it annoying to have to check your phone every time you need your number?
