I avoided calculators for this exact reason after I noticed cell phones took away my ability to remember phone #s. I also largely avoid GPS for the same reason and just memorize the route beforehand.

True story: I had an event at a VFW post. I dutifully put the address into Google Calendar. Come the day of the event, I found that the address was private home several miles away. Turns out I had put in the lodge # and the City Name for number and street, respectively. Oops. Pity the government spooks: now they're trying to figure out how some some poor random SOB is linked to me (a known right wing paranoid and anti-vaxxer) and a neighborhood bar doing business as a military veteran's organization [grin].
Your comment is a hoot! ЁЯдгЁЯдгЁЯдг I truly hope and pray God sends me a random SOB who's a right- winged, anti vaxxer & knows what "government spooks" are!! If you are single, hit me up. If married, do you have any like minded single friends over 60?
True. I've volunteered as a cashier and after the total bill was calculated, would ask the kids what their change should be, and I could always beat them to it if they could do it all. I'd estimate that maybe 10% of them would even attempt to do it and most were wrong. I think it was that they'd learned to rely on calculators. Very sad.
Initially I didn't want that job but had a great time partly because a lot of recent immigrants would come through and I was able to learn enough of several languages to shock and amuse them and myself. Sometimes they'd have me guess where they were from, and I got to be pretty good at it which surprised and delighted them to no end.

So true! I used to know so many phone numbers. Now I know mine and a couple of others.
