Smartphones can potentially boost our memory skills
This is great news for everyone addicted to their phones. Rather than making us lazy or forgetful, they help us store important information, which frees up our brains to remember other things. Researchers developed a memory task to be played on a touchscreen digital tablet or computer. The test was taken by 158 people aged 18 to 71. Lead author Dr Sam Gilbert said, “We found that when people were allowed to use an external memory, the device helped them to remember the information they had saved into it.”
