re: In this age of smartphones, do people even remember phone numbers anymore?

I remember precisely four phone numbers: my mom's, my mom's desk number, my dad's parents, and my own number. I've forgotten any others I might have known. My mom's number, my mom's desk number, and my dad's parents were the three numbers I had to know growing up if I ever needed help. My mom's been retired for five years and my grandparents have been dead for 10, but I can still rattle those numbers off like it's nothing because they were ingrained from the beginning. I know my number because it's mine.

Any other number, though, ain't getting remembered.
