Amen! What are the teachers teaching. Basic mathematics, yes but the kids have calculators /phones and are allowed to use them in class. Cursive is no longer taught because kids can't read it, because of technology. You are right!
Oh! Nothing bothers me more than schools NOT teaching cursive! It’s such a lovely skill to have. I had to teach all three of my kids cursive so they would have it at their disposal. Unfortunately, they haven’t used it like I had hoped they would. 🙁
The abiliity to write with a pen or pencil is our last defense against The Machine, folks!! whenever I want to really remember something I write it down three times--because the act of writing helps hardwire the information into our brains! Teachers used to know this: the three "gates" to learning are the ears, the eyes and the hands (or body)--and our memories last longest when it's something we've done ourselves. They used to call it "hands on learning." Writing things down is part of that. It's sad that parents complain that kids ignore them--and then when they are interacting with their kids and get a text, the first thing they do is turn away and attend to the phone first!
Good to see you, Dr. Fiona and you are so right!!! Use your brain to keep it sharp and use your body, walking e tc, to keep it from getting fat and out of shape. Happy Spring to you and yours❤️
So true. I’m 46 and struggle to remember my daughters phone number. I do, however, still remember my childhood phone number and all my childhood friends phone numbers.
It's scary to see that factions in our society have degraded, and I absolutely agree with you that part of the problem is people's reliance to electronic devices. Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom with the world 👍
I’m trying to learn German from Rosetta Stone; it’s fun and you use that gray matter! Also, the technology has sprouted poor, poor spelling and NO grammar skills, people!! That’s such a pet peeve of mine; it’s so hard to understand people’s ideas when they don’t use PUNCTUATION!!
It's so nice seeing you again, welcome back! I manage a laboratory system at a major hospital. I'm amazed when we, unfortunately, have a system downtime and go to downtime procedures - you write the lab results on paper slips. The staff falls apart and behaves as if it is the end of the world. When I worked in the lab we had no LIS, everything was charted on paper (dr. copy, chart copy, billing copy...lol I still remember those days). And yet we survived.
I remember watching an interview with Stevie Nicks and she said her and a friend went for lunch one day and her friend pulled out her phone and Stevie said put that away just for one hour so we can have this time to ourselves.
What you say about writing things down is SO true! I had to learn radio code. Looked it up on the internet and then wrote it over and over until it was hardwired as if I'd been born knowing it. . .and yet I have colleagues who 'cannot' remember their five-digit access code for the shared printers. SMH
I was driving through ky and tn today and noticed all the Spring bursting in the foliage. I said a prayer for you, hoping you can enjoy the beauty in your pain.
Janie Werner Hi Janie! How sweet of you to even think of me. I definitely still need the prayers. I will never, ever be the same, but it’s the prayers of my friends and family that are keeping me in any semblance of sanity. Be blessed, my friend.
Oh my God, you are soooooooo right. I won't even go there; however, your examples were spot on. I really ike you because your posts are so sensible. I am going to take your wise advice. Be blessed.
Thank you for this reminder! I thought it was weird what I was writing down the other day, but I felt like I did before 2004 again and it was wonderful
Great advice. This morning, I couldn't remember that a fire station was called a fire station. I was tossing around ideas like, is it a firehouse?, a place where fire trucks are kept? I couldn't for the life of me remember, I had to look it up. hahahah
I always enjoy your common sense. I'm a 70 male and so I don't use technology as much as the younger people but you are right it does creep into your life. I'm a fan of old school anything. I miss the old ways and I'm scared of what is coming. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
I love your videos! And I notice on the subway the majority of travelers are on their phones often times just going through screens not doing anything. It's quite sad
This has illuminated something very important to me. I'm a staunch proponent of one exercising their brain, yet hypocritically, it shames me to say that I've honestly forgotten how to write. I used to have the neatest handwriting when I was in elementary school, but upon the advent of ubiquitous technology, it's literally been over a decade where I've written anything. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that my hand puts a pen to paper no more than a few times a year if I need to sign something. I get laser hair removal, and for every appointment, I'm presented with a paper with lines and I need to sign it every time I go. It's wracked up my name like 11 times each time I've signed it and it shocks me to see how poor my handwriting is. It's terrible! It looks like a stunted child's handwriting. I think I need to keep a pen and paper at my desk and be sure to WRITE more regularly. Thank you, darling Dr. Blaire.
I could not agree with you more. Due to my epilepsy, I can not drive and am forced to use the bus system and while I take a book and read, I cannot help but notice that 2/3rds of the people on the bus are staring at their cellphones the entire time, as though they are taking orders from their electronic overlord. It is like being in a bad science fiction/horror movie. I worry about the future.
It sure is great to see you and listen to your common sense advice. I am guilty of some of these things too because the reason I just went to you tube was to see if I could find a video to show me how to program my daughter in laws phone number into my flip phone LOL. I guess I could just memorize the number. I have missed you.
Hi there. You are so right. If I don't actually write something down, I don't remember it as well........what was I saying? lol The real reason I am contacting you today is because I thought about you and your family. Today was the horrific shooting at the synagogue in Poway, CA. Such a loss and on the last day of passover too. I know you are dealing with your loss everyday. You emotions come through my computer screen. I can feel it. So today, this reminded me of you. Can you please let me know how you are doing? No rush. I just care. We all care. You matter to us all. You inspire us to change and you make us laugh. Thank you for that! We all need to care more about each other. Peace and love my friend.
Thomas T How sweet of you to think of me and my family! We’re still taking things day by day. The month of May will be exceedingly agonizing, for several reasons. First, my daughter’s birthday is early in the month. Second, the last time we were together at church was when she flew down from school early to surprise me on Mother’s Day, and third, she would be graduating from Harvard with distinction later this May. It’s gonna be a tough few weeks ahead. So that’s why God laid me on your heart, bc I’m going to need all the thoughts and prayers that I can get to help me through the next months. Thanks for contacting me. Be blessed.
There was a study (will not look it up now) that shows people are becoming stupid due to technology. We have trained our brain to look things up instead of training our brain to retain information. I have known this for decades.
Pertaining to your video on the likelihood of children developing ADHD, I couldn't agree more. I try not to be a judgmental person, but when I witness an infant with a tablet as big as themselves, I think it's disgusting. A sweet, malleable, imaginative young mind sedated by a device of more stimulation than their little heads can comprehend, only to minimize their attention spans and nullify the capacity to use their brains. What is going on?! Call me old-fashioned, but I see the benefit in children playing... REALLY playing. I'm not against video games. I love video games and I play them a lot in my adult life, but I think it can be too much for a very young child's mind to imbibe.
Pathetic, really. Just the whole phone thing, such a stupid behavior. I was walking in downtown Chicago the other day, sitting on the bus and train too, masses on their phones. Nobody looks up. If there was a major event of any kind, nobody would be prepared! The media would show them running and screaming with mouths opened as big as the damn moon. Absurd!!
I still think that Wall-E is the most accurate prediction of the future to day. It is incredible how lazy and dumb people are depicted there, but it so accurately follows the trends we see all around. I may not memorize phone numbers, but I remember quite a few passwords:) And I do write them down, especially at work where they change all the time:p Anyway, thanks to the smartphones (well the tablet in my case) the education is much more at your hands than ever before in the human history. It actually does wonders for my language learning. And there are amazing apps for maths as well and wonderful online and offline encyclopedias and other stuff. Lots of phone games are incredibly good at wasting your time, without much of any reward actually. I tried some and I could play for 20 hours a week without getting anywhere, it is better to read book or something. With a little bit of willpower you can create some handy habits and make real progress. Especially language learning can be so rewarding, but learning to be a pilot or doctor or lawyer you need to memorize bunch of stuff but more importantly, you have to be able to apply the knowledge. Computers are great for storing the knowledge and it is imho helpful to use them for that and learn to use them efficiently, but so far computers cannot imagine and cannot really think. That may be for some time unique to us and we should train ourselves to get better at thinking and applying knowledge (though it is much easier to apply it after you memorized it). It is all about getting the right motivation, creating a healthy habit of using the brain and then it kind of goes itself.
Also, physical therapists are saying that the youth in this country have necks of a 50-year-old because they spend so much time with their heads forward, looking at their phones. It's causing the natural curve of their necks to straighten out.
Absolutely. I use the computer a lot and when I was a teenager, I started to develop a hunch. Everyone has terrible postures now! As soon as I learned of the importance of posture, I took it upon myself to sit up straight. It was painful for the first month, but I kept at it, and now I'm thankful that I reversed that hunch and I have a nice, straight back.
Nice to see you Fiona. I hope that you & your family are doing as well as you can be....With the 5G roll out it is not only our brain that we will have to worry about.
I do math all day long, ever since I found out how to figure out an angel number, now I can't stop. It's like(7+7+6, =20, so the angel number would be 2)
The question is why do we want to use our memories? I think the whole point is about our evolution and adaptation to modern times, same why we don't walk or ride a horse to work or give up the machine in labor work in excuse that it weakens our muscles. I think better advice is to use whatever works best for you and adapt to the current or else we will be left behind.
The body and mind are not sustained by living a sedentary lifestyle. If you don't use it you lose it. This fact is basic FACTUAL knowledge. Our minds are only as sharp as the tools you give it. If you allow a machine to do all the thinking for you, you will go dumb. I notice you are pretty young (if that's you in the picture) wait and see when you get older and you'll wonder why remembering simple tasks are not so easy anymore. I used to be able to do math in my head easily and with accuracy down to the penny but now I have to write it down and go over a few times just to make sure. I used to be able to remember 20 phone numbers in my head, I don't even know my own son's phone number because it's in my phone book. Technology is great but we need to keep up with our human survival and not keep up with technology.
Apple Slices Unite if you go back in history you will see a lot of people and stories about people with extraordinary brain capabilities like it’s almost a norm back in the days, yes that’s fine because the need of the certain brain feature is a survival need. Now we don’t need that and I can assure you now we are way smarter and safer than before (ref: enlightenment now - Steven Pinker) our brain capacities doesn’t grow or shrink, as matter of fact it doesn’t disappear, fundamentally it shifts and pivots to adapt, when the robots take over our daily brain tasks it’s not that we will stop thinking and training our brain muscle, our brain will shift and pivot to think about certain things. The idea that brain will stop working or slow down in general is not proven, yes the brain can slow down at certain things because it cares about survival and using what it needs. The brain knows better.
Overuse of cell phones is definitely scrambling my brain. Like when I watch this video, to me it seems like your degrees are from Ytisrevinu Dravrah and Ytisrevinu Yrome. My wife and kids treat their phone like it's their second liver. They can't even sleep in a different room from it. I look it as a tether I would love to break free from. But my wife and kids wouldn't have it.
I'm dumbfounded by the number of children that have trouble reading an analog clock. I guess that's the way some people felt generations ago when clocks and other time pieces were invented and in time, fewer and fewer people were able to read sundials.
Apple Slices Unite Hello, I’ve been sort of down in the dumps over the past few months. My daughter’s birthday was in May, Mother’s Day was shortly after that, and she would have graduated from Harvard with honors last month also. Also, Father’s Day was tough. I’ll be back at some point. Thanks for checking in.
I banned all the gaming consoles from my house when our adult children were little. One thing I do for fun is compute my change back when I check out. Or compute the gasoline volume as I pump it into my car. I know I've got a 14 gallon tank so I compute the percentage as every half gallon clicks by. As for memorizing phone numbers, the friend with the most recent number has had hers for about 25 years. 😁 We are a close knit group of really OLD friends. Puzzles are good for the brain too! I especially love crossword puzzles and jigsaw puzzles.
They call it " augmented intelligence ". Soon a trip to the doctor will include this conversation: " ....aren't you tired of carrying that device around ? I can put everything on a chip and put it right inside your eye. You'll be able to simply blink and your homescreen will appear as a holographic image. Right in front of you ! " and we'll say : " sounds great. how much ?! ".
I'm nominating fblairmd66 for Surgeon General of the USA.
If ONLY we could find enough intelligent people to make it happen. Let's start here!
So good to see you again and hear some more common sense words of wisdom.

@savvy cakess It's still an art form and should be learned, in my opinion. :c)
