Society has always been moving towards a world where humans no longer have to remember certain things, because they made things to remember for them, where all they would have to do is look it up. If you don't believe me, look at history. Calendars were invented so farmers wouldn't have to remember when harvest or flood times were, writing was invented to store several types of data, and calculators were invented to make mathematics quicker and easier. Thanks to these inventions, we don't have to memorize such things. If we did, our lives would be much tougher. However, since the internet was born, we have watched the birth of a global storage device for every possible bit of information. From home videos, to Hubble images, from wikipedia to any and every type of p**n you can imagine, and if there isn't one yet, rule 34 comes its way. So with all this storage that can be asked at will, why aren't we all knowing? Because we were taught to memorize.
