Before cell phones, I had most of the numbers for my friends and family memorized. Even now, I can remember a friend's home number that I knew from elementary through high school; it's burned into my brain. Today, if I got in a jam, I only know my wife's number. I'm thinking maybe I should start tapping in the numbers for friends and family again instead of just tapping on their name so I can retrain my brain. Technology is making me feel like one of those dumb fat-fucks in the Wall-E movie.

About a dozen, most of them being unused, I just remember them from my youth when you had to know them. My house, my grandmothers, fathers work phone, a local time and temperature line for whenever you had to set a clock, that kind of stuff. Current ones, wife's cell, couple work numbers, but not really any personal numbers

Same, a dozen or so, half from decades ago that I no longer use. I know as many IP addresses, the modern equivalent of phone numbers.
