you have a solution for this old-age problem?

Going further back brain based memory works much better. Back in my day I
had to remember far more than just my own phone number. Apparently just
this one important number is one too many these days.
 Of course I had written down multiple important numbers in a tiny black
book especially for those called infrequently.
 Of course back in my day kids received all available vaccinations which is
no longer the case. Maybe we are on a downward spiral toward idiocracy. I
don’t blame smartphones but the people who use them and the people they get
their misinformation from.
 I know…back in someone’s day people didn’t end sentences with prepositions.
