Typically, I remember enough about subjects and events to maintain a firm opinion. When challenged I often have to look up the details to give specific answers. This is generally easy and quick with our electronic devices and access to the internet. This has evolved over the years.
I have seen a pattern of Google "forgetting" certain facts and "remembering" others which alters History and creates a bias of facts
When challenged I often have to look up the details to give specific answers.
I suspect the ‘looking up’ (google?) is a major part of the problem.
As a kid, I recall old people that knew some of the classics and/or the Bible verbatim.
Now I’m almost an old guy (age 69)and the only ones I see are on youtube showing off!
No need to recall if you can google?
