Your brain used to remember your phone number because it was important. But now, with smartphones taking over the job of remembering numbers for you, your brain thinks that’s not a useful task anymore. It's like when you stop practicing piano, your fingers forget how to play. Your brain is just doing what it always does: saving space for things it thinks are more useful.
Examples
- You used to remember your mom's number because you called her every day.
- Now you just type 'mom' on your phone and it finds the number for you.
- Your brain thinks remembering numbers is no longer important.
