Digital Amnesia: The experience of forgetting something important because you trust a connected device!
Also known as the Google Effect: The experience of forgetting something important because we trust a connected device. Bob’s latest Keynote addresses how we are outsourcing our memory to our devices and the negative affect it is having on our businesses. A trained memory is a business asset attainable by everyone.
Since we’ve been able to place more memory power in the palm of our hand than was used to land a man on the moon, we’ve banished our own memory to the back burner. The more we rely on technology to retrieve information, the more we erode the process to recall that information ‘naturally’ and we trigger Digital Amnesia.
So is this a problem? Well, aside from the mental health aspects, here’s just one scenario. You have a pre-arranged appointment, you have reviewed all the pertinent information about that client/customer/patient, you’re able to ask after their spouse/partner, kids, calling them all by name, you can even comment on their favourite sports team. They feel you have a great relationship.
A month later you bump into your client IRL unexpectedly, not only have you ‘forgotten’ their spouse/partners, kids, names…
you can’t even recall THEIR name.
How’s that relationship now?
How’s your credibility now?
How helpful is that device now?
In Bob’s latest highly interactive, empowering, and funny, keynote presentation, he shows you how to keep your memory in shape, how to steal your brain back from technology…and how you’ll never again need to say “Sorry, I forgot your name”.
This method, which is the foundation of all memory systems dating back thousands of years, can be adapted to recall any sequential information such as presentations, lists, safety procedures and more.
When common memory lapses occur, it not only leads to frustration, embarrassment and lost credibility… it carries a negative image. Conversely, an excellent memory conveys the image of success and of someone who is in control.
How often have you bumped into clients, or customers, or someone you know but can’t remember his name, or hers? Socially, this can be embarrassing, and in business, it can be disastrous. With our lives already so hectic, and the number of people who are important to us increasing every day, we need an instant and easy way to keep each and every one of them active in our memory. The sweetest sound to someone is the sound of his or her own name. By recalling a correct name, especially after only one introduction, you will not only engage and flatter its owner, but you will be remembered for your thoughtful interest. In his amusing, unusual and empowering presentation, Bob reveals a wonderful method to easily recall and store into memory the names of new friends and business acquaintances. Having been taught the system, participants are quickly and easily able to recall both first and last names of several new acquaintances as they are introduced during the presentation. It’s a hilarious system that will have the audience in hysterics… and it works!
