自從有了智能手機和移動互聯網，我們的腦子似乎越來越不好使了。兩位數的加減法要用計算器，之前去過的地方，再去還是需要導航指路，身邊好友和家人的手機號一個都記不住......

Digital amnesia refers to the inability to remember basic things, such as telephone numbers, dates, how to get somewhere without a GPS, or how to do math without using a calculator, etc. as a result of over-reliance on mobile phones and the Internet for storing information.
“數字失憶癥”指因為過度依賴手機和互聯網儲存信息而導致的基本記憶能力喪失，比如，連手機號碼、約會日期等基本事項都記不住，沒有導航就不知道怎么到達目的地，沒有計算器就不會算術，等等。

Survey conducted by Kaspersky Lab showed that 91 percent of consumers can easily admit their dependency on the Internet and devices as a tool for remembering and an extension of their brain.
由卡巴斯基實驗室進行的調查發現，91%的消費者坦承依賴互聯網和數字設備作為記憶和大腦存儲功能的延伸。

The findings also suggest that our inability to retain important information is due to the fact that we are handing over responsibility for remembering it to digital devices.
該調查結果也顯示，我們無法記住重要信息是因為我們把記憶信息的功能都轉移給了數字設備。

Almost half (44%) of survey participants say that their smartphone holds almost everything they need to know or recall.
接近一半（44%）的受調查者表示他們的智能手機里存儲著他們需要記住的所有事項。
