re: “Search engines already destroyed our memory recall ability.”
I’d say I use search engines to augment, sometimes correct mine ... if I recall enough to jot down three or four terms on an obscure subject I briefly looked at in the past a search engine can usually ‘vector’ me towards what exactly it was I faintly recalled.
Take “CALEA” for instance, an act of congress passed back in the WJBC years concerning wireless wiretap procedures, and now CALEA is used for a company or product name, but search results for the Law Enforcement act are also referred to as well by a search engine.
I do the same thing, but the more I do it the more I have to do it.
