Mind will forget that its task is of remembering - “It pays to remember, search engines running our memory”

There was an article in Times of India in Times Trends – “It pays to remember, search engines running our memory”. 

In life of software engineers I felt this statement is very true.

VIBGYOR – as we all know this was formula we used to remember names of colors in rainbow in sequence.

Violet

Indigo

Blue

Green

Yellow

Orange

Red

When we were in schools we were trying to remember so many things like formula, history dates and years, etc

But now days are changed – we need some information we will Google it. I feel we should have practice of remembering things and using them instead   always depending on search engines and our systems.

When we are in remote places and we don’t connectivity to Google then our condition would become like crashed system.

If we stop giving practice to our memory to remember things – memory might lose that power of remembering things which is its basic task.

Even a Mercedes car not used for long time it will get rust and stop running same way Search Engines will cause rust to mind.

We start practicing few things in our life without help of search engines to keep mind’s remembering activity active always.

First situation:

Imagine a situation where we lost or mobile and there is an emergency like accident – as mobiles phonebooks have made revolution we don’t even remember or near dear ones number. So we can start with this practice remembering our near dear ones numbers.

Second situation: Someone asks our bank account, many times we check our mobiles to find the same – we start practicing of remembering our account numbers.

Third situation: PAN card numbers, vehicle registration numbers or some numbers we use frequently.

These things would be starting point to make mind remember things later we can start remembering some general things and when our kids question us about those things we should not search Google and tell them.

Before vehicles were invented humans were using walking and doing all works on their own. They were very strong. But now all types of vehicles are invented but humans are forced to do exercise, go to gym by paying their important money and time.

Same may come in future – we may have to pay extra time and money to save our mind to have good memory power and make mind to remember its task is of remembering many things – else mind will forget that its task is of remembering.
