Is it my impending birthday, or is it the fact that today's world requires a bazillion user names, passwords, user id, random access code provider. there are days that I feel like I can't remember anything.
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I remember almost everything. I have always prided myself on the ability to multitask and remember conversations, people, events, dates, and the ever changing dental materials and procedures.
But recently I've had to start keeping a notebook with passwords, user id, and which email address it is associated with. Recently while trying to log into the bank as I usually do in the morning, after entering my user id, and then password , and then randomly generated access code from my special bank token, I was informed that it was now time to change my password, AGAIN.
It needed to be eight characters: letters and numbers, upper and lowercase, and include one special symbol, and i had to input it before I could continue. Online timer gave me 2 minutes before I would be logged out. Oh, the pressure, no time to plan and think of something clever or that I might remember. Hence, I now have to WRITE it down in order to remember it.
Technology was supposed to make life easier, when did it become more complex?
