View Full Version : I'm getting stupid :(
mdifilm 12-14-2005, 04:42 PM With the technology in hand, I've realized I've lost my ability to do things with my brain that I used to be able to do, I think I've becomed too dependent to the technology to save my ass...
How many of you can still do complicated math problems within a stressed environemnt? I used to be able to, but now I ran for the calculator...
Spatula 12-14-2005, 04:52 PM This is how the computers will beat us...
spinner 12-14-2005, 05:35 PM ...er, uh...I can spell though.... rarely have to use spell checker....

clive 12-14-2005, 05:50 PM The really scary one is that I used to remember people's phone numbers, not anymore.
I wouldn't worry about it too much Clive. It's been said that Einstein, when asked for his phone number, picked up a directory to look it up. Didn't like to clutter up his mind with useless information. ;) Of course the veracity is up for grabs!
Loud Orange Cat 12-14-2005, 07:40 PM Um... Do what?! :lol:
mr-modern-life 12-15-2005, 04:25 AM I'm becoming a PC. Honestly all I need is a harddrive and I'll be sorted!
Lilith 12-15-2005, 06:12 AM Personally, I stopped being able to handle nearly all "higher functions" of the brain about the time I gave birth. "Mommy Brain" is not a myth. At birth + 9 years, I still feel that the brain is just not where it used to be, but that could just be early menopause.:redgrin:
knightly 12-15-2005, 07:46 AM I firmly believe that storage in the human brain is finite...we have to remove information to store new stuff.
mdifilm 12-15-2005, 08:14 AM In addition to not being able to do math, I found out I forgot about how to use a light meter because I've been shooting digital videos and never thought the need for a light meter.
I've forgotten how to write, because of the chat we've been involved, we just use thise short forms of writing: brb - be right back, LOL - laugh out loud, R = are, U = You, TTYL = talk to you later, etc...
recently tried those only iq test game, gosh, I can't even have more than 40% right anymore...
DirectorX 12-16-2005, 12:36 AM While I had my palm pilot (it passed away recently) I have developed some difficulties writing cursively. Damn backward single-stroke letters...

...so, what you're saying is: we have to clear out the hard drive before we can install new programs? Just how many Ghz of internal hard drive does a human brain store anyway? Does an iPod count as an external? :D

Hehe....you mean GBs!
I think someone is already running out of space! :D
spinner 12-16-2005, 01:31 AM ...GBs...uh, I think I could use an upgrade...:lol:

mdifilm 12-16-2005, 07:43 AM same here, first need to get rid of all the plug ins then I'll be back to normal.
mr-modern-life 12-16-2005, 08:14 AM Anyone know how to do a human memory dump down to DVD to make some new space in my current hard drive (er head)!
Spatula 12-16-2005, 05:58 PM As Tom Cochrene should have put it:
"Life is a hard drive; I'm gonna defrag; all night long"

I wonder if braincells are damaged during child birth. my wife forgets alot of stuff now. At first i figured it was she is now preoccupied with our children. But I really believe something traumatic happens to the woman during child birth.
:(
you look way to young to have gone through menopause.
cnomad3d 12-18-2005, 06:24 PM It's all that damn spyware!
Lilith 12-19-2005, 08:08 AM King, that photo is not me. That's a still from my upcoming short, "Rubble". The actress is Brandy Seymour- she is 27 I think. I however am 41, and definitely dealing with hormonal malfunctions. :) The brain seems to be doing well today though.

...yeah, its a conspiracy! Spearheaded by Bush! Damn the man! :D

Loud Orange Cat 12-19-2005, 05:46 PM You realize he's listening in on your phone calls right now...

That's right! I'm in Canada, so that counts as "foriegn". I'm working at a call center that caters to the States- the NSA must be going nuts trying to pin me down...
spinner 12-19-2005, 06:19 PM :eek: ...he's doing this for our own good...for our own good...for our own gooo
delete....delete...delete...delete.....
