    With phone books, we don’t memorize phone numbers any more, we rely on drawn maps to tell us where to go and calendars reminds us of birthdays. What else will we stop remembering once AI paper remembers everything for us?

      With phone books we don’t memorise phone numbers, but we still have to read them a dial them and after a few times we don’t need to look them up anymore. With drawn map we still have to look around and make sure we are correct intersection.

      They don’t prevent us from remembering stuff, it’s the things that we used to do that helped us to remember and we don’t do anymore.
