    you need GPS to go to the place youv’e been multiple times, because you have GPS. Your brain does a funny thing where it doesnt feel like it has to remember shit when you have the answer infront of you on a computer/phone/device cause it is basically using that device as its short term memory.

      Same with phone numbers. We used to remember them, or at least a handful of the most important ones.

      Nowadays it took me years just to memorise my own.
