i can't really remember the mobile phone number of my friends. the only number i can remember was the land line number. it is only 7 digit and why not remember it especially if we are always on the phone? i memorized it for i was like the secretary of the group. i am the telephone directory of everyone ha ha!

I remember the one that I use the most, like brother, mom, etc.
But some, like one of my best friend who I call every week, I just can't remember it and I have to look her number everytime.
So for most of my number, I have to keep a directory for it.

Well I remember my the friends numbers that are here, but only the close ones, but my best friends are both in another country and we don't call each other that much, only messaging so I don't remember their numbers at all. I only remember one or two of my close friends numbers who are in the same country as me, and the rest of the numbers well let's just say that I mostly remember the numbers of take-out places instead, he he

I must admit I am dependent to my mobile phone directory for my friends' numbers. I have two cellphones and when I switch the sim card. The numbers get jumbled sometimes. Because my other nokia has a phone memory. So you can imagine the mess sometimes. I even forgot one time and I replied my friend "who u?" (^^,LOL) She almost got mad at me if I didn't explained to her that I switched the sim cards. So now I carefully check the number first befrore replying to avoid misunderstanding. And yes, too bad technology made us not really dumb but very lazy. Have a nice day! Happy RaPping! I got it right this time ha! (^^,LOL) and congratulations for finishing your studies. Good work! (^^,)

That is so true, technology is making us very lazy. I used to memorize numbers so easily from post codes (zip codes), account numbers, phone numbers and now I can't even remember my own mobile number! The excuse - Because I don't have to - it's not a good excuse at all and my brain is getting really lazy.
I have to do something about this. Do you think there's a subterranean conspiracy going on to turn our brains to mush? Sounds like a joke, but I don't think it is.
Good question friend.

I remember like maybe 4 of the most important ones/the ones I call the most, like my husbands cell, my parents home and cell and the local pizza place lol. But I used to be able to remember numbers really well. I guess my brain cells are going poof as I get older.
