Does technology improve your future memory?

How many times have you forgotten to go through the clothes to the dry cleaners or take a different path to get to work? Maybe your prospective memory is failing, however, the use of technology can be your great ally.

According to her Wired magazine , the applications Geofencing and Checkmark they help you remember something you had planned to do at a specific time in the future, data that is only in your prospective memory.

The portal Neuropsiquitria.cl, He details that memory not only allows us to know and remember past events, because it allows us to store future plans and intentions (prospective memory).

On the other hand, Clive Thompson, Wired contributor , points out that an example of prospective memory is when we take a message for someone and we forget over time (prospective), however, when we see that person we remember that we had to say something (retrospectively).

Therefore, technology has advanced to avoid these hot flashes and avoid problems with others, because exercises to exercise the mind, are not very useful to promote prospective memory.

Applications like Geofencing and Checkmark not only help you remember what you have to do and when, they also show you the place where you have to do it.

In other words, geographic tools are inserting prospective memory into the real world. And you, how often do you forget the things you planned?
