Deleting Facebook deletes your memory

Today, the Wall Street Journal reported the unintended consequences of deleting your Facebook account is that you delete your memory too. Facebook’s barrage of reminders seem to be the only way a majority of its users remembered their “friends’” birthdays. So with the deletion of their account, so went social mores of wishing others happy birthday. Ha!

The article quotes John Allison, a U.K.-based comic artist and writer, as saying, “Just like we used to in ancient history in 2006, I’m going to walk right up to them and say, ‘When is your birthday?’ ” He intends to not only talk to his friends (gasp!) but record his friends' birthdays in a physical notebook with a pen! Ha, again!

The tortoise takes the lead again! Tortoise 2, Hare 0 -if anyone is counting ;)
