    One example: getting arrested

    You might not. But you might (especially with this current admin). Cops will never let you use your phone after you’ve been detained. Unless you go free the same night, expect to never have a phone call with anyone but a lawyer or bail bonds agency.

      Yes but why do I need to know a grade school friend’s number? As I said I know my wife’s. I know my siblings’. These have changed too, so I’ve memorized them in the smartphone era. If you know no emergency number that’s just bad prep. Everyone should do that.

      But memorizing lots of numbers? Pointless.
