Or just... memorize them?
(Does nobody do that anymore?)
I still remember some of my school friends' phone numbers form 30+ years ago, but I have difficulties remembering new people I meet. My brain is weird.
That's long term memory for you. Normal when you get old.
but also because it isn't practiced anymore. it's always surprising what human beings are capable of.
Then I'm afraid I started getting old way too soon.
I have 1 number committed to memory, and it's the only one I need if I get arrested. Until that happens I prefer to stay in touch with my people
