Sounds like something Grok would say.
I continue to remember phone numbers and birthdays. No Google or Facebook for me and I'm waiting for the AI bubble to pop.
Edit: GPS, I thought you meant Google play services. I do use an offline map on my phone if I'm going to an unfamiliar area but I have no problem reading a map.
I still memorize phone numbers and directions.
In fact, I’ve increased the amount of things I memorize. In addition to the massive amount of usernames and passwords I have to keep in mind, I have credit card and bank routing and account numbers memorized so I can enter payment information on the fly.
How to be human
Man, I didn't even memorize numbers other than my own house's when cell phones were something only rich businessmen had. I used a phone book.
I will never forget about Dre
I've honestly been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm not proud of myself.
Having to remember a bunch of telephone numbers really sucked. I was particularly bad at it, myself, and had to carry around a little address book. I’m so much more happy now that I can store phone numbers in my phone.
If smart glasses with heads-up displays become normalized, you will eventually have married couples that don't remember each other's names.
It takes me a few beers to get it right...
Some people know telephone numbers, some of us don't. 🤷♂️ What's the big deal, the point is, you should have an alternate method to access your contacts...
