People at work are amazed that I remember numbers. I use a desk phone so I use numbers a lot

You can remember them when you need to just like kids can add cashiers change when they need to

It’s the switching from analog to digital that people are so dumb about. They think it’s good to use just numbers. They don’t realize they take the time in their heads to translate back to analog

Dashboard analog clock- they gave me on in my 2025 car. Now I know what I’m doing

But they took away my dial speedometer. What an insane idea.

I used to remember numbers also. But it’s been a long time since I have a need to. I respectfully disagree with your comment that kids can add cashier’s change today. When the cash register is down, they have to resort to a cell phone’s calculator. The math knowledge of today’s kids is poor to say the least, not all, but way too many.
