Digital Amnesia: Why We Forget the Little Things
Have you noticed how fewer people now remember names of top players from sports they donât follow? Or how people donât remember their favorite movies from one or two years ago? For example, our son was talking about the upcoming Olympic Games and more specifically about the U.S. basketball team. He was naming some of the top basketball players that are going to be part of the U.S. team and myâŚ

"Is the internet making us stupid?" I type. Press enter. Almost instantly, a raft of answers and articles on screen. It's an unsettling feeling that my first instinct â to Google my own stupidity â may be the root of my increasing daftness.
Some scientists and social commentators argue that instant access to information that has become available through smart phones, the internet, and email has become detrimental to usersâ intelligence.  They state that users have come to rely on the âmemoryâ of the internet, much as people relied on the knowledge and memory of friends, neighbors, and family members before the advent of new technology.  Users have become complacent knowing that basically any question or piece of knowledge they may need is only a Google search away, a phenomenon that has been termed the âGoogle effect.â  To me, this is a question of how the user is interacting with the technology.  If Google is simply used as a tool, it seems hard to believe it can drastically effect intelligence of the user.  Itâs impact on intelligence may be in how the individual user is interacting with the tool.    Â
Digital Amnesia
Fragments of remembrance
are like a poem learned in childhood by rote
a novel line or two I wrote
 the rest being largely contributed by others
starting from memories with brothers and grandmothers
while accessing all those micro magical moments
not once did I let antipathy foment
knowing full well
nostalgiaâs spell
lasts only so long
but broken bonds still stay strong

Abstract
The advent of the Internet, with sophisticated algorithmic search engines, has made accessing information as easy as lifting a finger. No longer do we have to make costly efforts to find the things we want. We can âGoogleâ the old classmate, find articles online, or look up the actor who was on the tip of our tongue. The results of four studies suggest that when faced with difficult questions, people are primed to think about computers and that when people expect to have future access to information, they have lower rates of recall of the information itself and enhanced recall instead for where to access it. The Internet has become a primary form of external or transactive memory, where information is stored collectively outside ourselves.
We tend to forget things that we know we can look up on the internet.

Memory: 10 Fascinating Quirks Everyone Should Know
Memory: 10 Fascinating Quirks Everyone Should Know
I am most fascinated by the âGoogle effectâ. Read onâŚ
As the great psychologist William James said:
âIf we remembered everything we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing.â
Here are ten interesting quirks of memory which provide a better insight into what makes us remember â or forget.
1. Context is king
What we can remember partly depends on the situation and mentalâŚ

RF: Tend to forget basic stuff easily? You might be suffering the Google effect!
The Google effect is the tendency to forget information that can be easily found using internet search engines such as Google, instead of remembering it!
The access to data anytime, anywhere, through search engines like Google, is taking an effect on human memory. With so much information available, there is less need to remember everything, especially with tools like Google allowing us find what we need quickly.
The result? The Internet becomes an external memory for our brains!Thanks to all the search engines available in the net, accessing information has become as easy as lifting a finger. We can use Google to find an old classmate, articles online or look up for the name of the song weâve been singing all day but canât quite remember it's title.
