Why You Don't Remember Anything Anymore

Quick test: Without looking at your contacts, do you know your best friend’s phone number? What about your spouse’s?

Most of us can’t. But 20 years ago, you had dozens of numbers, addresses, and birthdays locked in your head. So, what changed? In this video, we explore the rise of Digital Amnesia and how we’ve outsourced our brains to our smartphones.

Is your brain becoming a "muscle" you’ve stopped using? Let’s talk about it.

In this video, we cover:
🧠 Why you still remember your childhood phone number but not your current one.
🧠 How GPS is changing the physical structure of our brains.
🧠 The death of mental math and spelling.
🧠 Why "infinite information" is making us less knowledgeable.
