自從有了智能手機和移動互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，我們的腦子似乎越來越不好使了。兩位數(shù)的加減法要用計算器，之前去過的地方，再去還是需要導航指路，身邊好友和家人的手機號一個都記不住......

Digital amnesia refers to the inability to remember basic things, such as telephone numbers, dates, how to get somewhere without a GPS, or how to do math without using a calculator, etc. as a result of over-reliance on mobile phones and the Internet for storing information.
“數(shù)字失憶癥”指因為過度依賴手機和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)儲存信息而導致的基本記憶能力喪失，比如，連手機號碼、約會日期等基本事項都記不住，沒有導航就不知道怎么到達目的地，沒有計算器就不會算術(shù)，等等。

Survey conducted by Kaspersky Lab showed that 91 percent of consumers can easily admit their dependency on the Internet and devices as a tool for remembering and an extension of their brain.
由卡巴斯基實驗室進行的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，91%的消費者坦承依賴互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和數(shù)字設(shè)備作為記憶和大腦存儲功能的延伸。

The findings also suggest that our inability to retain important information is due to the fact that we are handing over responsibility for remembering it to digital devices.
該調(diào)查結(jié)果也顯示，我們無法記住重要信息是因為我們把記憶信息的功能都轉(zhuǎn)移給了數(shù)字設(shè)備。

Almost half (44%) of survey participants say that their smartphone holds almost everything they need to know or recall.
接近一半（44%）的受調(diào)查者表示他們的智能手機里存儲著他們需要記住的所有事項。
