50 years ago
we would memorize telephone numbers and addresses so as not to track them in a
phone book. Back in those days, education was then based on the collection of
concepts. The more one would memorize, the higher the chance to obtain good
marks and pass examinations. Most of those over 40 still remember relatives and
friends´ phone numbers.
Some experts
state that nowadays we do not memorize phone numbers, nor addresses nor emails
because these are kept on the memory of phones and computers. This is true,
although it has moved on towards the collection of keys to access those
electronic devices and the knowledge of the steps to look for some pieces of
information on the Internet.
Due to these
processes, the kind of mnemonic tasks used have changed. Lots of experts agree
that it is more useful to be able to search information and correctly classify
it than memorizing it for the pleasure of doing so.
