digital amnesia
occurs when you can’t remember where you heard something or read something, but you know it was on your phone.
often occurs when reading email and text messages on the go – you forget about the message until something else in life reminds you and you then remember when/where you received that text or email.
common belief is that it occurs because since you are not sitting anch-r-d to a desk or a laptop, you forget the message context because your attention is immediately drawn to the car in front of you, your kid screaming in the backseat, having to pay for groceries, or any other activity “on the go”. see threadnesia, cell phone amnesia, e-mnesia
