Count it!
Alright, public.
It is 2009. We have cellular devices which enable us to store so much information, they have nearly rendered us stupid, and we are de-evolving. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that the only numbers you need to commit to memory these days are:
1) Your social security number.
2) Your OWN phone number.
The comment “Well, I don’t know my number, because I never call myself,” should never be uttered for it is absurd. That’s the only number you should know. How else will you give out said number to family, friends, creditors, etc.? You simply need to memorize that one. It’s important. You can even get away with not memorizing your home address these days, but the cell phone number is crucial.
Here is what you need not bother with committing to memory…
Your credit card number. It’s senseless, really. And it’s a waste of time, because you never get it right! You’re always going to say “two” when it’s really supposed to be a “three,” your card number will come back on your order as “invalid” and when I tell you this, you will huff and puff as you go through the arduous task of getting that pesky piece of plastic out of that cumbersome wallet and you’ll actually have to read the imprinted numbers aloud. Such a shame, really. We could have saved valuable time and energy if you’d tried to memorize a ten-digit phone number as opposed to a 16-digit credit card number.
But then you need a pen and a paper to retain a six-digit confirmation code.
And also you’re driving at the time.
(well, by the way…
)
Humans, you are bonkers.
**P.s. Yes. When I ask for your credit card number, I need the whole number on the front of the card, please.
