In a way. One of the things that has caused me to be unable to recall certain information is due to technology. With iPhones giving you the opportunity to dial a number just by recalling a name, I've forgotten so many telephone numbers that without my phone, I would be lost. I do find that I cannot recall names of people that I don't interact with on a frequent basis. Sometimes, it takes me a while to think of a word, but if I wait long enough, it comes to me. I attribute that to having insufficient RAM and having 77 years of information archived in my "cloud."
I think it's been more disappointing to (some) others than it is to me. I do wish that I could forget certain things, but in general, I see it as an asset.
