LONDON (Reuters) - Can't remember life before mobiles? Chances are you'll also struggle to recall your home phone number and family birthdays.
According to a survey released 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.

All very well - but couldn't it be the electromagnetic fields from the
phones scrambling people's brains? After all - it's well known that mobile
phones microwave your brain tissue and wireless networks are probably
worse.
A few years ago I was in an art class where the tests were basically a date
memorization exercise (the prof. would show us a painting and ask us to
write down the date). there were literally hundreds of images per test,
and I almost failed the first test. I found a system that worked extremely
well for remembering dates (or any number for that matter). I've included
the link below. Once I got the hang of the system, I starting getting all
A's on the tests--ended up with an A-. Goes to show the power of
efficiency and how important it is to go about things in the right way.
