Don’t forget – it’s a matter of taking note
June 26th, 2010 by admin
We have to admit when we were younger we had sharper minds and memory. They say that forgetfulness comes with old age. I still have to see someone happy being called ‘old’. But, old age will come to everyone who does not die young. It’s a common joke to tell someone who forgot something as getting old. Wouldn’t you get irked if someone tells you you’re getting old when you say ‘I forgot my AOL username’? Forgetting is often the butt of jokes. It becomes more of a joke when you say, ‘I remember writing it down but I can’t remember where I wrote it’. That will elicit more laughs from the people around you! If you need to be reminded often about the same thing over and over, then that might be a case of forgetfulness.
It’s funny that we are having more advanced technology that tends to make us more forgetful. We leave the memorizing to those gadgets. We have become so dependent on them just like telephone numbers. With the advent of cellular phones, we no longer bother taking note or memorizing the numbers we call because they are stored in our phones. Sometimes we don’t even memorize our own cellular phone numbers. So dependent are we on the gadgets that you hear some people say, ‘I forgot my blackberry email password’! There might come a point in time when learning and education will be a matter of just referring to the computers. Those gadgets have taken the load of memorizing and storing for people! Like cars these days, on board diagnostics do what used to be a mechanic’s job. They even tell you not to do anything with the car until you get it to diagnostic equipment!
