Use Your Cell Phone As A Memory Jogger
This is just a very small thing but it doesn’t always take a lot to impress me. My Daughter showed me a way to use a cell phone to record a number into it’s short term memory to recall when you need it.
I gave my daughter the four digit access number to our garage door and thought she would write it down. Instead she typed it into her cell phone’s keypad and hit send. Of course there’s no phone number with those four numbers but now it’s recorded in her phone’s temporary memory. When she needs in the garage later she can just go to her ‘recent calls‘ or ‘call log‘ to see the number. I was impressed. Clever right?
BTW: That’s not really my access number

The deal with the phone to be able to do short term recall or hold numbers are not phone numbers. All that stuff doesn’t amaze me as much as the knowledge of the kids that use them. I am amazed at what the know and some of them with a little deeper understanding will be creating things that I’m sure haven’t even been thought of.
I am still the proud owner of vinyl and a data extraction device called a turntable. The word vinyl is so old you can barely find in spell check. and the state of the art communication device had a rotatory dial on it, instead of a crank.
We have come a long way baby!

I know what you mean Brad. I have to call one of my kids whenever I need something programed or even need the time changed on some things. Yep, we’re getting old. lol
