We store information all over the place, on paper, in other people's brains and now on our digital devices. When we need to handle more information about the world the last thing I want to store in my brain is someone's cell phone number. I'm sure you ask your family members, roomates, work peers similar questions over and over because you know they are the keeper of that answer, they essentially act as off site storage for your brain. Now we're just taking that concept and strapping it onto a rocket but it's probably the only thing keeping us from information overload.
