The life categories where memory will always beat digital lookups:
- The frequency factor - Memorization is required simply because the quantity of lookups would make your life grind into a great halt.
- The social factor - We always should know the basic facts about our friends and family.
- The cultural factor - We cant survive for long in society without some basic grounding in history.
- The security factor - Some Programs autofill our log in information on the Web sites we visit, and even fill in our credit card information when we buy something online. But we still have to unlock those programs each day by entering a master password one we'll have to memorize.
- The productivity factor - We need fluency in our own career facts to operate effectively
- The lookup factor - Our gadgets may always be able to call up information on demand—but only if you know how and where to look for it
