I grew up with rotary phones, and I only knew about 2 numbers then. My notes about these numbers have just moved from a piece of paper pinned onto the wall.
At a demographic level, I am near certain you’re right on the money. But you are not an interchangeable part, identical to all the others in your bin. Neither is anyone else.
There are people who can use these tools to enhance their abilities. That’s how I use GPS navigation: to get me there the first time, and on trips to larger cities to avoid traffic. No amount of skill on my part is going to tell me that I need to turn onto a side street because there was an accident 10km further up the road.
So there’s nuance here. We can possibly have our cake and eat it too.
