think_too_mut Posted November 30, 2024 Report Share Posted November 30, 2024 I picked Samsung mobile phone when 3 years of the previous one expired (while I was in office, 2015). That Samsung phone was an absolute rubbish, even tried to kill me. While I was on a mountain, that junk was displaying its widgets to the pocket of my backpack, drained the battery. If I needed any help, no battery. It even, somehow, blocked my boss who was trying to contact me. Then I got it from the company, iPhone. Whole family is on them. We all have iPhones. Bought it , iPhone 15 after retirement, 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The degeneration of the human kind came with iPhones, Android. Driving with my daughter and her friend, asked them to type in the phone number of some museum, which exists 100 years. They typed in and said - unknown place and address. What they did, they typed in a post code number, unaware it is not a phone number. They did not know what the format of a phone number is. They have never made a phone call in their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget what I had for breakfast… I remember a few numbers like my Parents and Sisters etc, just about remember my own mobile number but not the wife’s. I can remember things like Driving Licence (16 Digit) and National Health Number (SSN) (9 Digit), probably because I learned most of them over 40 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted December 30, 2024 Report Share Posted December 30, 2024 Stroke also brain surgery, I forgot .. I don't remember what I don't remember, no indication or sense of loss. Which makes the 1,000s of movies I saved over the years in MP4, fantastic, I get to see most of them again for the first time. When I forget what I had for breakfast, I look at my chin in the mirror, remembering to do so, is the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
