Being smart today is about knowing where the information is located or how it is associated with other known information.

Remembering stuff is just not very useful.
History, after all, is just formal remembering so it makes sense that history is dying as any sort of remembering is giving way to technology. Then there’s the fact we are on the verge of a great automation of work that will make remembering the past even more pointless as the life of man becomes pointless. Children have no reason to dwell on the past or think of the future. Instead, they enjoy the day playing with their toys. Perhaps the growing amnesia in the West is just part of the slow infantalization of man. One day people will loom at the their surroundings and wonder how they got there and who made them. Perhaps even imagine the machines were made by gods. A long Ramble on Time & Memory | The Z Blog
