Phone Memory

Today’s the second day in a row that I’ve forgotten to charge the battery on my poor little cell phone. I defend myself by saying I’m trying to wean it off of electricity. The downside of not having my phone handy is that since my phone stores my phone number list, I have no idea what anyone’s number is. I guess having these numbers stored in my phone is good, as it means there’s one less group of facts that I have to remember, but it does suck when I forget to charge the battery.

As Robert pointed out, maybe phones in the future will keep us from having to remember the names of people we call.

“Phone, call ..uhh.. that guy … that did that thing that time.. and uhh.. who drives that car.. and who… uhh.. has brown hair.” Ring. Ring. “Hey, uhh.. whatever your name is! This is uhh.. well.. whatever my name is! Uhh.. I forgot what I was gonna say. Bye!”
